The story of Christ Before Pilate
Mihály Munkácsy was Hungary's most internationally successful 19th-century painter — Paris-based, fashionable in the salons of New York and London. His monumental Christ Before Pilate of 1881, the first of his huge religious triptych on the Passion, toured Europe and America in the 1880s as a paid-admission spectacle that drew millions. The painting now hangs in the Déri Museum in Debrecen, Hungary. Christ stands silent, the crowd thrust forward, Pilate frozen in indecision.
