CHRIST BEFORE PILATE, Gerard Honthorst, Stafford House, London. Christ with hands bound, standing at right in an interior, is interrogated by Pilate, who is seated behind a table, on which are books, an inkstand, and a candle, the light of which illumines the faces of both; in background, right, several soldiers; left, two attendants. Painted at Rome for Prince Giustiniani.—Ch. Blanc, École hollandaise.

By Mihail Munkacsy, Paris. Christ standing 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. Mongin. Etched (1883) by C. Waltner.—Acad., May 6, 1882, 328; Gaz. des B. Arts (1881), xxiv. 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 affected and overstrained.—Ruskin, Stones of Venice, iii. 352.

Subject treated also by Michael Wohlgemuth, Liverpool Gallery; Benedetto Cagliari, Venice Academy; Luigi Benfatto, S. Luca, Venice.
