My Journey Through the Graphite World - Gospel of Matthew, chapter 27.

in FreeCompliments7 months ago

A person who picks up a pencil probably can't always find the right way to apply the first graphite stroke on a white sheet of paper at least that's what happens to me.

It seems like you want to draw there is some idea, but this idea can be a bit vague unless you decide to draw a pot with a bouquet of flowers which you have previously placed in front of you on the table.

I don't draw still lifes, although perhaps, this is interesting and fruitful work but I like to draw immaterial objects that appear in my imagination.

For example I am interested in reading a chapter of the Bible or the Gospel thinking about it and imagining a picture of what is happening and drawing an illustration of the main point of this chapter and today I want to present you with a drawing-illustration of the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 27.

I drew Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ at the moment of their short conversation before the sentencing.

More precisely before Pontius Pilate announces to the Jews gathered in the palace courtyard that he washes his hands and hands Jesus Christ over to the Jews for judgment.

You can think about this chapter a lot and learn a lot of new things for yourself.

For example you cannot be a politician a person in power and a judge at the same time.

Yes, in such a situation it is very difficult to be a fair judge which Pontius Pilate wanted to be in fact he was fair but politics and power subdued justice.

He could not allow a riot among the Jews as a politician, he was afraid of losing his warm place as a person in power, but he did not see the crime of Jesus Christ deserving the death penalty as a judge.

A very difficult situation that I decided to illustrate.

If the situation were to repeat itself today everything would happen exactly the same because the one who holds power today tramples justice.

With a gesture of the thumb down which was a sign of death penalty I tried to show Pontius Pilate's explanation to Jesus of what awaited him if he did not renounce everything he had said and bow down to the Jews in confession.

I had to stand in front of a mirror to understand how Pontius Pilate's gestures would look.

Not everything went smoothly at first but I took my time and corrected my mistakes in the drawing.

My main goal was to show all the tragedy and inevitability of this situation.

At some point I decided that the work was finished and I was able to put the pencil on the table.

Below you can see a list of links to my works in graphite.

Greetings @barski ,

What an excellent post...lovely drawing and illustration,and subject matter.

Our Lord on trial...and your post about it...brings to mind the verse...

John 3.16 ...For God loved the world so much that He gave His uniquely born Son, so that whosoever believeth in Him shall never perish, but have eternal life.

It is faith alone in Christ alone for eternal life.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak on these things.

Cheers, Bleujay
