"Christ Before Pilate" is a notable chiaroscuro woodcut print by Andrea Andreani, an Italian engraver from Mantua, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The woodcut, dated to 1586, is based on an original design by the prominent artist Giambologna, and it showcases Andreani's mastery in the chiaroscuro technique, which involves the use of different shades of ink to create a sense of depth and volume.

The print depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being presented to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea, prior to his crucifixion. This moment, captured in the Gospels, is a pivotal event in the Passion of Christ and has been a recurrent theme in Christian art. Andreani's rendition is particularly noted for its dramatic composition and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures.

Measuring approximately 42.5 x 30.5 cm, "Christ Before Pilate" is part of a series of prints that Andreani produced after Giambologna's designs. These works are significant for their artistic merit and for exemplifying the collaborative nature of printmaking during the Renaissance, where engravers often interpreted the works of painters and sculptors.

Andreani's prints are held in high esteem for their technical proficiency and aesthetic qualities. "Christ Before Pilate" is no exception; it is a testament to the artist's skill in translating the dynamism and subtlety of Giambologna's original design into the medium of print. Today, the woodcut is considered an important work within the oeuvre of Andrea Andreani and is studied for its contribution to the development of chiaroscuro woodcutting in Italy. It can be found in various museum collections and is often referenced in discussions of Renaissance printmaking techniques and religious iconography.
