Transitions: On Sunday you are hailed as a king, by Thursday you are condemned as a heretic and criminal. That’s quite a transition that Jesus experienced according to the gospel accounts.
This work depicts Jesus condemned by Pilate and is the first of fourteen works in Miriam’s Stations of the Cross series that took over a decade to complete. Each piece in the series is set with Birmingham, Alabama on Highland Drive overlooking Highland Park. It is in the collection of St. Simon Peter Episcopal Church in Pell City, Alabama.
“Christ Is Condemned” by Miriam McClung, 1997. Pastel on board. 48″ x 96″. Collection of St. Simon Peter Episcopal Church, Pell City, Alabama.
