EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play, depicting Jesus before Herod. In this scene, Jesus, portrayed by Anton Lang, stands before King Herod, played by Gregor Breitsamter. The stage is filled with other notable actors including Sebastian Lang as the high priest Annas and Hugo Rutz as high priest Joseph ben Caiaphas. The Oberammergau Passion Play has been performed every ten years since its inception in 1634 by the residents of Oberammergau village in Bavaria, Germany. This renowned event tells the story of Jesus' passion leading up to his crucifixion and has become a major tourist attraction drawing audiences from around the world. Henry Traut's atelier beautifully captures this historic moment on an official postcard from 1922. The image showcases not only the exceptional acting talent but also highlights the elaborate costumes and attention to detail that make this play so visually stunning. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time to witness a dramatic representation of one of Christianity's most significant events. It serves as a reminder of both the enduring power of faith and artistry's ability to bring history to life on stage.
