"Pilate Washes His Hands" is a painting by the French artist James Tissot, part of his extensive series illustrating the life of Jesus Christ. Tissot, known for his detailed and historically informed biblical scenes, created this work in the late 19th century. The painting depicts the moment from the New Testament when Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, symbolically washes his hands to show that he does not take responsibility for the execution of Jesus.

Tissot's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, reflecting his deep research into the customs, architecture, and attire of the period. In this painting, Pilate is shown in a Roman setting, surrounded by figures that include Roman soldiers and Jewish leaders, capturing the tension and drama of the scene. The composition emphasizes Pilate's ambivalence and the charged atmosphere of the trial.

The painting is part of Tissot's larger project, "The Life of Christ," which consists of over 350 watercolors. This series was completed after Tissot's return to Catholicism and reflects his renewed religious fervor and commitment to depicting biblical narratives with authenticity and reverence. The series was exhibited in Paris and London and later acquired by the Brooklyn Museum, where it remains a significant part of their collection.

Tissot's interpretation of biblical events was influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering a vivid and humanized portrayal of the Gospels. His work continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its contribution to religious art, providing insight into both the historical context of the biblical era and the spiritual concerns of Tissot's own time.
