"Christ Before the High Priest" (circa 1633) is a significant oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Matthias Stom, also known as Matthias Stomer. This work is an exemplar of Stom's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his focus on religious subjects, which were influenced by the style of Caravaggio and the Caravaggisti, artists who followed Caravaggio's approach to painting.

The painting depicts the intense moment from the Passion of Christ when Jesus is interrogated by the High Priest Caiaphas following his arrest and prior to his trial before Pontius Pilate. Stom's mastery in capturing the emotional tension of the scene is evident through the stark contrasts of light and shadow, which serve to highlight the figures and underscore the gravity of the moment.

Stom's rendition of this biblical episode is characterized by a strong attention to detail and a keen interest in the psychological interaction between the characters. The composition focuses on the exchange between Christ and the High Priest, with other figures in the scene often shrouded in darkness, adding to the sense of foreboding and the weight of the narrative.

"Christ Before the High Priest" is a prime example of Stom's contribution to the Northern European interpretation of Caravaggesque painting, which was marked by a heightened sense of realism and emotional resonance. The painting is considered an important work within Stom's oeuvre and within the broader context of 17th-century European art, reflecting the era's religious tensions and the evolving approach to biblical storytelling through the visual arts.
