Dürer, Albrecht: (1471 Nürnberg 1528). Christus vor Pilatus. Orig.-Kupferstich. In der Platte monogrammiert und datiert. 1512. Auf Bütten ohne Wasserzeichen. Darstellungs- und Papierformat 11,7 x 7,4 cm. Meder 7b. Schoch/Mende/Scherbaum 49. - Das 5. Blatt der Kupferstichpassion in einem klaren Druck auf feinem Bütten. Pilatus empfängt Christus in der Eingangshalle seines Palastes. Dieser wird von zwei Schergen grob gepackt und zu ihm gezerrt, Kaiphas steht im Hintergrund und deutet auf den Angeklagten. Hervorstechend ist jedoch die Begegnung zwischen Pilatus und Christus, der eine mit verschattetem Gesicht, der andere mit zweifelnder Miene. Christus überragt den Stadthalter deutlich, wodurch auch seine geistige Größe ausgedrückt wird. Auch die Architektur spricht für die Situation. Der Stadthalter steht in dem engen Architekturraum neben einer breiten Säule, während sich über Christus das hohe Gewölbe erhebt. Diese hervorragende Komposition läßt die herrliche Bildsprache Dürers glänzen. - PROVENIENZ: Mit 2 Besitzerstempeln: M. J.
