Christ Presented to the People: Oblong Plate (print (visual work); Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn; 1655; Pierpont Morgan Library (New York City, New York state, Unit...; Accession Number: RvR 119; Record ID: 179783)

Note: Matthew 27:21-23 and Mark 15:1-15. The Neptune-like figure [added] in the foreground [in the previous state] is half-obscured by horizontal shading. (Boston 1969, p. 102). The roughening of the surface of the plate which occurred when the crowd was erased [in the sixth state] is used to characterize the wall surface. Two dark archways, possibly entrances to cells or dungeons, penetrate this wall. The dimly seen, enigmatic bearded figure adds a sense of disquiet. Set off by deeper shadow and further modeled, the figure of Christ is more readily isolated from the surrounding group. (Boston 1969, no. 68 [modified])
