«Chapter 14*»

They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders and teachers of the law came together. Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man.’ ” Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

They all condemned him as worthy of death. Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.

WHAT CAIAPHAS
AND HIS GOONS
DID TO JESUS

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou!

The physical abuse of Jesus begins....

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a blessed new week to all.

Many painful depictions of His sufferings, but He was willing to endure such agony for each of us...

#1 Mantovani
#2 Leinweber
#21 Seghers

Thank You Dan -

[Hebrews 11:6]

He was willing to endure such agony for each of us...

BINGO!

[etabeta]

The Passion of Christ begins...always a very sad reading even understanding the whys...
Tissot always great
#21 Segher - One of the more famous Flemish Caravaggesque artist of the mid 17th c. Later he became influenced by Rubens.
#26 Maestro of the Schlagl Altar an anonymous German artist.Like his brilliant colors. (Dan, for your collection he has a beautiful Via Crucis and Crucifixion).
#31 Honthorst - Another Dutch Golden Age artist influenced by Caravaggio. He and Matthias Stom painted some of their works lit only by a candle or torch. Very effective chiaroscuro.
$35 Polenov - Remember his wonderful Healing of Jairus daughter?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’ve noticed that Segher suddenly began appearing with works depicting Jesus’ crucifixion and its attendant events. It seems to have been his special interest.

[SouthernClaire]

Thank you very much, Dan.

Can’t help but get some angry looking at these today.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sorry to say it, Claire, but worse is yet to come....

[SouthernClaire]

I know, and I appreciate your posting them.

I get the same way when I come to the text in the Bible.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good. The Holy Spirit is active within you.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Human bloodlust is a terribly ugly spirit…from Cain forward, maybe more than anything else it is the practical result of human disobedience to His own maker. And is why that disobedience was punished so harshly in the first place. Christ demonstrates that in His Passion that bloodlust sin would lead to an attempt by man to destroy even his own maker. God Himself shows man the futility of his rage.

Like to mention Van Honthorst (31) and Assereto (22) as very striking (no terrible pun intended there).

[Hebrews 11:6]

Your profound—if brief—essay provokes in me numerous deep memories and understandings. They write themselves.

Well done!

[InkStone]

“He (Honthorst) and Matthias Stom painted some of their works lit only by a candle or torch. Very effective chiaroscuro.”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thank you etabeta; it’s wonderful to learn how these artists achieved such realistic results!

[InkStone]

Well said Scott !

[etabeta]

Yes, it is. Chiaroscuro developed during the 15th and 16th c. in Renaissance Italy. Further development brought us to the innovative “tenebrism” of Caravaggio. Tenebrism though peaked in the Baroque era, but chiaroscuro remained popular in various genres.

[InkStone]

etabeta, I had to look up ‘Tenebrism’, but now it makes sense.

You really have the heart of the teacher; thank you.

[etabeta]

Thank you, InkStone. Not a teacher but an enthusiastic student of art.
