"Christus vor Pilatus" (Christ before Pilate) is a significant work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his larger body of work known as the "Small Passion" series. This series, completed around 1511, consists of 36 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the Passion of Christ, starting with the Entry into Jerusalem and culminating with the Resurrection. "Christus vor Pilatus" specifically portrays the biblical scene of Jesus being brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, for judgment.

In this woodcut, Dürer masterfully captures the tension and drama of the moment. The composition is dense with figures, showcasing Dürer's skill in rendering detail and his ability to convey narrative through the medium of woodcut. Pilate is typically depicted as a conflicted figure, torn between the will of the people and his own perception of Jesus' innocence. The crowd, often shown as agitated and pressing for Jesus' crucifixion, reflects the tumultuous nature of the event.

Dürer's "Small Passion" series, including "Christus vor Pilatus," is notable for its intricate detail and emotional depth, characteristics that have contributed to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance. The series was widely disseminated in Europe, contributing to the spread of Renaissance styles and ideas. "Christus vor Pilatus," like the other woodcuts in the series, was made by carving the image into a wooden block, inking the surface, and then pressing it onto paper—a process that allowed for multiple reproductions and a broad circulation of Dürer's work.

The "Small Passion" series is considered a masterpiece of religious art and an important example of early printmaking. It reflects the devotional practices of the time, the growing interest in the humanist approach to religious subjects, and the innovative artistic techniques that Dürer and his contemporaries were developing. "Christus vor Pilatus" remains an important work for study by art historians and scholars of the Renaissance, as well as a testament to Dürer's enduring legacy as a printmaker and artist.
