JOHN 18:13-14, 19-24

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people.

Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said."

When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded.

"If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

Thank You Dan. Don’t you love the way MATTHIAS STOM uses light? What a mood it creates...

[Hebrews 11:6]

I do, Leon. It’s one of those things that I appreciate without understanding how he achieves it.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan!
:-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

A bit stiff and sore after yesterday’s drywall jamboree, Mary-Lou?

[left that other site]

Nope...played the bass for a hour and a half this morning at church.

There’s life in the old girl yet.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yee-hah!

[Hebrews 11:6]

The first image of tomorrow’s thread is another well-lit Stom.

[Bob434]

Like,how the last one got both scenes depicted in one work. Like 21 aguto’s depiction. Love the gold in 10- makes it seem to glow from within

[Bob434]

At first glance it looked a bit like a Rembrandt with the use of the light.

[Hebrews 11:6]

A rather drab and grey collection today, but thankfully that is an exception: Annas’ interview was the least interesting to artists of the four we’ll see (Caiaphas/Sanhedrin, Herod, Pilate).

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Scanning through the pictures, I particularly noticed the clothing. I chuckled to see Caiaphas in a bishop’s mitre, but most of the artists (save Tissot) depicted everyone in medieval clothing.

I got an insight as I pondered this. Clothing was much more significant to medieval society than ours. Portraying authentic clothing would be confusing and misleading to the average viewer. Medieval society had sumptuary laws, requiring different classes to wear different clothing. Thus, the clothing reveals who the characters are and where they fit in society.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sounds right. And yet, the ground is ever level at the foot of the cross.
