Painted at Rome for Prince Giustiniani. Ch. Blanc, Ecole hollandaise. By Mihail Munkacsy, Paris. Christ stand- ing before Pilate, who is seated at right upon a dais, in a vaulted chamber, into which the rabble are pressing with threatening cries and gestures ; a Roman soldier is keeping them back from the Saviour with his spear ; near Pilate, who appears much perplexed, are several Rabbis. Engraved by A. Mon- gin. Etched (1883) by C. Waltner. Acad., May 6, 1882, 328 ; Gaz. des B. Arts (1881), xsiv. 139. By Tintoretto, Scuola di S. Rocco, Venice ; canvas. A very interesting picture, best seen on a dark day, when the white figure of Christ looks almost like a spirit ; the Pilate is very mean, perhaps intentionally, and the passionate action of the scribe in lifting his hand to dip the pen into the ink-horn is af- fected and overstrained.
