Christ before Pilate
Giuseppe Vermiglio channels his inner Caravaggio here, using dramatic lighting to highlight the tension of the trial. While Christ stands quietly bound in red, the scene is chaotic with armored guards and a servant pouring water. That water pouring is the key moment—Pilate is literally washing his hands of the situation, giving us the phrase 'washing one's hands of something' that we still use today when we want to avoid responsibility!
