Rembrandt stages the scene with a multitude of figures, each responding individually to the events on the dais. Pilate, with the long staff, points at Christ and leaves the choice to the people to release either ‘the King of the Jews’ or the murderer Barabbas. The outcome is known. Rembrandt created this enormous scene entirely in drypoint, scratching directly into the copperplate.
