"Christ Before Herod" is an intricate engraving created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, forming part of his celebrated series known as the "Small Passion." This series, which Dürer worked on between 1508 and 1510, comprises 36 woodcuts and a frontispiece, each depicting various scenes from the Passion of Christ. The "Small Passion" is distinguished by its detailed and expressive portrayal of the events leading up to and including the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, reflecting Dürer's deep engagement with religious themes and his mastery of the engraving technique.

In "Christ Before Herod," Dürer captures the moment when Jesus is presented before Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, as described in the New Testament. The scene is marked by its dramatic intensity and the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes Dürer's work. Herod is depicted seated on a throne, exuding authority and curiosity, while Christ stands before him, bound and serene, embodying a sense of calm amidst the turmoil. The composition is further enriched by the presence of various onlookers and soldiers, each rendered with individual expressions and gestures, contributing to the narrative depth of the scene.

Dürer's ability to convey complex human emotions and interactions through his engravings is evident in this work. The use of line and shading to create texture and depth demonstrates his technical prowess and innovative approach to printmaking. The "Small Passion" series, including "Christ Before Herod," played a significant role in the dissemination of religious imagery during the Renaissance, making Dürer's interpretations accessible to a broader audience.

This engraving not only reflects Dürer's artistic skill but also his theological insights and the cultural context of the early 16th century. As a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, Dürer's works, including "Christ Before Herod," continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
