"Christ Before Caiaphas" is a painting by the Dutch artist Gerrit van Honthorst, who was a prominent member of the Utrecht Caravaggisti during the Dutch Golden Age. The painting, created in 1617, is a significant example of the Caravaggisti style, which was inspired by the works of the Italian master Caravaggio. Van Honthorst was known for his mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to depict scenes with dramatic lighting and expressive figures.

The painting depicts the moment from the New Testament when Jesus Christ, having been arrested, is brought before Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest, for interrogation. This event is a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ, leading up to his crucifixion. Van Honthorst captures the tension of the scene through the stark contrast of light and shadow, with the figure of Christ illuminated against the darker figures of Caiaphas and the other onlookers.

Measuring 272 cm by 183 cm, "Christ Before Caiaphas" is a large oil on canvas that showcases Van Honthorst's skill in creating a powerful narrative through visual means. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.

As a work that exemplifies the Caravaggisti influence on Northern European painting, "Christ Before Caiaphas" is an important piece in understanding the spread of Caravaggio's techniques across Europe and the development of Baroque art. Van Honthorst's use of light not only serves to highlight the emotional intensity of the scene but also reflects the spiritual themes of enlightenment and redemption that are central to the story of Christ's trial and crucifixion.
