"Christ Before Caiaphas" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Gerrit van Honthorst, completed in 1617 during the artist's early period. This work is an exemplar of the Caravaggisti style, which Honthorst adopted after being profoundly influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio during his stay in Rome between 1610 and 1620. The painting depicts the intense and dramatic biblical scene of Jesus Christ being interrogated by the high priest Caiaphas following his arrest and prior to his crucifixion.

Measuring 272 cm by 183 cm, "Christ Before Caiaphas" is noted for its stark chiaroscuro and the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, a technique that Honthorst, also known as Gherardo delle Notti for his night scenes, mastered and frequently employed. The painting's composition is centered on the figure of Christ, illuminated by a hidden light source, which highlights his calm and resolute demeanor in contrast to the accusatory and hostile figures surrounding him.

The work is housed in the National Gallery, London, and is considered one of Honthorst's masterpieces. It is a prime example of the Northern European adaptation of Caravaggio's tenebrism and naturalism, which had a profound impact on the development of Dutch Golden Age painting. "Christ Before Caiaphas" continues to be studied for its artistic merit, its religious and emotional impact, and its place within the context of European art history.
