The House of Caiaphas
1875
Step into the shadows with Gustave Doré, who splits this scene into two dramatic worlds: a gloomy, tense room and a blindingly bright street outside. Inside the House of Caiaphas, a group of robed men sit in anxious silence, bathed in the light spilling through a massive archway as they watch the chaotic crowd gathering for Jesus's trial. Famous for his intense Bible illustrations, Doré brings a cinematic flair to this 1875 Romantic masterpiece, making you feel like you're hiding in the corner of the room waiting for the verdict.
