"Christ Entering Jerusalem" is a painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Gillis Mostaert (1528–1598), depicting the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event celebrated in Christianity on Palm Sunday. Mostaert, known for his landscape and genre paintings as well as religious works, was a member of the Antwerp painters' guild and had a significant influence on the Northern Renaissance with his detailed and vivid portrayals of both biblical and everyday scenes.

The painting captures the moment when Christ, riding on a donkey, is welcomed by a crowd of followers and spectators who lay palm branches and cloaks in his path as a sign of homage. This scene is often depicted in Christian art to symbolize Christ's peaceful approach to his eventual passion and crucifixion. Mostaert's rendition of this event is characterized by his attention to detail, the use of vibrant colors, and the intricate representation of the figures and their expressions.

"Christ Entering Jerusalem" is notable for its depiction of the architectural and natural elements of the period, providing a glimpse into the urban and social context of 16th-century Flanders. Mostaert's work is also recognized for its narrative quality, as it often includes various subsidiary scenes that contribute to the overall story being told within the painting.

While the exact date of creation for "Christ Entering Jerusalem" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the latter part of Mostaert's career. The painting is an example of the Northern Renaissance's rich tradition of religious art, reflecting the era's deep religious sentiment and the artists' preoccupation with the meticulous rendering of scenes from the Bible.

Today, "Christ Entering Jerusalem" is considered an important work within Gillis Mostaert's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the religious and artistic climate of the 16th century in the Low Countries. The painting is appreciated for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance, offering insight into the devotional practices and visual culture of the time.
