EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Nikolay Ge's powerful painting "What is Truth?, 1890" which depicts a significant biblical scene: Jesus Christ being questioned by Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea. This thought-provoking artwork can be found in the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and is also known as "Quid Est Veritas?". Ge's masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent for realism, as he portrays Jesus dressed in traditional clothing, gesturing with his hand while being interrogated by Pilate. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this pivotal moment in history when truth and justice were at stake. The painting not only reflects religious themes but also carries political undertones. It symbolizes rebellion against oppressive systems and highlights the struggle between power and righteousness. Ge's use of color adds depth to the composition, creating an atmosphere that draws viewers into this historical event. This particular print from Vladimir Fiala's book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Ge's work beyond its original context. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that art has on society across different centuries and artistic movements. By preserving this image through photography, we can continue to explore profound questions about truth, faith, justice, and human nature that have resonated throughout history.
