The story of Christ Before Pilate
Mihály Munkácsy was a Hungarian painter who earned an international reputation with his genre pictures and large-scale biblical paintings. The art dealer Charles Sedelmeyer wanted him to paint huge pictures that could be exhibited on their own, and Christ before Pilate, followed by Golgotha (1884) and Ecce Homo (1896), formed a trilogy that Sedelmeyer took on tour across Europe and the United States. After the paintings were sold at auction in 1988, Joey and Toby Tanenbaum bought Christ before Pilate and donated it to the Art Gallery of Hamilton in 2002; the gallery lent it to the Deri Museum in Debrecen, Hungary.
