Barabbas with the Condemned Thieves. St. Luke chap. XXIII.v.XVIII.
Painted by Benj.n West, Esq.r P.R.A. Drawn by Henry Corbould. Engraved by Edward Scriven, Hist.l Engraver to The Prince Regent & the Princess of Wales. London: Published by T. Clay, N.o 18 Ludgate Hill, June 4; 1814.
London, 1814.
Rare stipple and etching. 375 x 475mm (14¾ x 18¾"). Trimmed to plate top, left and right edges. Some toning.
Barabbas and two other thieves are restrained and in cuffs, and appear to be surrounded by a number of soldiers in the background. According to the Synoptic Gospels, Barabbas, imprisoned for murder and insurrection against the Roman state according to Mark and Luke, was released by Pontius Pilate according to a Passover tradition whereby a prisoner could have their death sentence communted by popular demand. The story goes that the crowd of Jewish people ask for Barabbas's release, thereby condemning Jesus to death, though the plausibility of Barabbas's release is contested by some historians.
