Excerpt from Christ Before Pilate, the Painting by Munkacsy: A Description of the Picture, a Sketch of the Artist's Life, and Numerous IllustrationsIn time, the idea came to him to paint Christ Before Pilate. In no other subject. It occurred to him, could he so well bring into prominence those great qualities of the Master, that impressed him so strongly, as in the scene which immediately preceded the awful tragedy of Golgotha, when the Saviour - forsaken, reviled, falsely accused. Denied even the formality of a trial - stood before the Roman Governor to be sentenced to an ignominious death.Wisely enough, the artist did not attempt this great subject until the maturity of his power had been attained yet, during the years he was dreaming of the picture he should some day paint.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
