"Christ Before Annas" is a significant work by the German artist Martin Schongauer, who was active during the late 15th century. Schongauer, renowned for his exceptional skills in engraving and painting, created this piece as part of his extensive body of religious art. The work depicts the biblical scene where Jesus Christ is brought before Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest, for questioning following his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. This moment is a pivotal episode in the Passion of Christ, illustrating the beginning of the series of trials that would lead to his crucifixion.

Schongauer's "Christ Before Annas" is notable for its intricate detail and the emotional intensity conveyed through the expressions and postures of the figures. The composition captures the tension and drama of the scene, with Christ standing calmly amidst the hostile and accusing crowd. Schongauer's mastery in engraving is evident in the delicate lines and the meticulous attention to textures, which bring a remarkable depth and realism to the work.

The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, creating a dynamic interplay that draws the viewer into the narrative. The work reflects Schongauer's deep understanding of human anatomy and his ability to convey complex emotions through subtle gestures and facial expressions. This engraving not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to Schongauer's technical prowess and his ability to infuse a sense of humanity and pathos into his religious subjects.

"Christ Before Annas" remains an important example of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the blend of Gothic traditions with the emerging naturalism that characterized the period. Schongauer's influence extended beyond his lifetime, impacting subsequent generations of artists, including Albrecht Dürer, who admired and was inspired by Schongauer's work. Today, "Christ Before Annas" continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance, representing a key moment in the development of European printmaking and religious art.
