Description
TITLE: “Il Detenuto”
This modern painting of Jesus Christ being arrested and tortured by the Roman soldiers hand painted by the contemporary international artist Alessandro Siviglia was inspired by the medieval masterpiece “Ecce Homo” by Andrea Mantegna (1500 A.D.).
The title of this extraordinary artwork means `THE PRISONER” shows Christ who was arrested by the guards, that were actually sent by the high priests, and sent to prison, where he remained detained until his “trial”.
The artist’s work expresses the resignation of Christ, Jesus, despite his power, surrenders to the prison guards and without any resistance he is brought to the high priests.
Like a sheep, the son of God lets himself be led to his executioner, he is humiliated and scourged by the soldiers.
Treated as any prisoner he is deprived of all rights and locked up in prison, but Christ does not escape, he does not protest against the institutions but embraces his cross to the end.
In some situations, in front of God, we also need to surrender and embrace our cross.
