DRYDEN, Ontario, March 28th, 1930 Christ Before Pilate THE painter of this picture is Mich- ael Munkaesy. His real name was Michael Lieb. He was born in the lit;le Hungarian village of Munkacs! It was only after he hat in 1844. achieved distinction that he was affectionately called Munacsky by | his fellow countrymen in loving rec- ognition of the renown he liad brought his native village. childhood was of privation and sor- row. His mother died shortly after his birth and his father, who was a political revolutionist, became invol- ved in the war with Russia and was taken prisoner where he languished ~for a number of years in jail. When little Mackie was about five years old when his father was condemned and sentenced to death. This oc- currence made a very vivid impres- sion on the mind of the little child --so0 vivid indeed that he used the incident for a theme for his first successful picture. An aunt and uncle adopted him, but tragically enough she and her husband were murdered a short while later by bandits who robbed their home. An uncle took the little chap and ap prenticed him to a carpenter. Thi= life was distasteful to Michael and at the age of fourteen he ran away from home and wer to Ared wher he worked as a carpenter, but only enough to gain the bare mecessitie of living. Most of his {ime was spent in arg galleries where he stadi- ed and copied pictures. Due to priva- tion and hardship of living, he was taken sick and was sent home to his uncle. It is said re used to sing for his 'own comfort the popular song 'Why Should I Mourn as Tho' . There were no Sorrow But Mine." This shady and unfortunate chld- hood left ap indelible impression on Munkacsy.

He places the win- dows at the back of the room in order that the view of the distant landscape may bring, in some meas- ure, relaxation to the overdrawn nerves. Through these windows the highly charged atmosphere finds vent. - The pent-up emotions of the throng are relieved by this artistic and. technficgl touch. Munkacsy knew his Bible, and nowhere in his acquaintance with it made more manifest tha, in this picture, He has grasped the esscmce of this scene in a wonderful way, and has dramatically reflected the emotions of those present. Just as Da Vinej sought to fix the expression and gratitude of the disciples at the moment when Christ said, "One Shall Betray Me," so Munkacsy in this picture, seeks to catch and fix the action of the mob wh-n Plate said, = "What shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Chr rd This question, which has come down the ages, 'continues to arouse the identi | | cal emotions represented here, What is in the picture?
