"Christ Before Caiaphas" is a fresco by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, located in the Scrovegni Chapel (also known as the Arena Chapel) in Padua, Veneto, Italy. Painted between 1304 and 1306, this work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that depict scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the life of Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and a seminal work of the early Renaissance.

The "Christ Before Caiaphas" fresco illustrates the moment from the New Testament when Jesus is brought before the Jewish high priest Caiaphas after his arrest. The scene captures the tension and drama of Christ's trial, with figures that exhibit emotional expressiveness and a sense of three-dimensionality that were revolutionary for the time. Giotto's use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, helps to model the figures and give them a sculptural quality.

In the composition, Caiaphas is typically shown seated in a position of authority, often with an accusatory gesture towards Christ. The fresco is noted for its narrative clarity and the way in which Giotto conveys the psychological interaction between the characters. The artist's ability to convey complex human emotions and to create a convincing architectural space were significant advancements in the history of painting.

The Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, including "Christ Before Caiaphas," are widely regarded as a turning point in the evolution of European painting, marking a departure from the stylized forms of Byzantine art towards greater naturalism. This work, along with the rest of the fresco cycle, has been influential in the development of Western art and has been studied extensively for its stylistic and iconographic innovations.

Giotto's frescoes were commissioned by the wealthy banker Enrico Scrovegni, who intended the chapel as a family chapel and as an act of atonement for his father's sin of usury. The chapel and its frescoes were consecrated on March 25, 1305. Today, the Scrovegni Chapel is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and "Christ Before Caiaphas" remains a testament to Giotto's groundbreaking contributions to the art of painting.
