Jacques DÉMOULIN (1905-1991) Christ before Caiaphas Oil on paper Study on the back Size: 46.4 x 54.6 cm. Traces and thumbtack holes Here, Jacques Démoulin illustrates an Old Testament passage rarely depicted in art. The scene is taken from the four Gospels: Jesus appearing before the high priest of the Jerusalem temple, Caiaphas, who, having heard him assert that he is the son of God, tears his own clothes, as Jewish law requires to stigmatize any remarks deemed blasphemous.
