...Before continuing her story as told in Art, I will here speak of the Dream of Pilate's Wife, just before Christ was brought before Pilate for judgment. So much was she disturbed by her dream, that even when Pilate was in his judgment seat, she sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
"There are few pictures of this subject; the most notable one that I know is by that powerful and original master Gustave Dore, and is dated 1874. At the extreme left is a staircase, at the head of which the interior of a room is visible, in which is a couch, tumbled as if some one had just risen from it. Descending the stairs in Pilate's wife, a lovely woman, whose face is sad and troubled; her right hand is pressed to her brow as if she were attempting to think clearly..."
Clara Erskine Clement Waters [1834-1916] is the author of several works: "Angels in Art"; "Saints in Art"; "A Handbook of Legendary Art"; "Painters, Sculptors, Architects, and Engravers"; "Artists of the Nineteenth Century", etc.
