EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play, depicting "Jesus before the Sanhedrin". In this powerful scene, Jesus, portrayed by Anton Lang, stands before an assembly of rabbis who are playing their roles in the dramatic reenactment. The play itself has a rich history dating back to 1634 and is performed every ten years in the picturesque village of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. The image showcases the dedication and talent of amateur actors who bring this timeless story to life on open-air stages. Lang's portrayal of Jesus exudes both vulnerability and strength as he faces his accusers. Surrounding him are other performers dressed in elaborate costumes representing various biblical figures such as Ananias, Caiaphas, and Annas. Over time, the Oberammergau Passion Play has evolved into a major tourist attraction drawing audiences from around the world. This official postcard from 1922 provides a glimpse into its enduring popularity. The photograph was taken by Henry Traut at Atelier Henry Traut and published by F. Bruckmann in Munich. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this image serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith-based performances that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
