About
At the turn of the century, Henri de Groux was among the most respected members of the Belgian avant-garde. In Christ among His Tormentors, de Groux' s most ambitious print, Christ cowers next to Pontius Pilate as he is jeered by the crowd that will ultimately sentence him to death. This particular impression is one among a group of twelve that the artist hand-colored with pastel.
