"Christ before Caiaphas" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Matthias Stom (also known as Matthias Stomer), created between 1630 and 1650. 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. The painting depicts the intense biblical scene of Jesus Christ being interrogated by the high priest Caiaphas, a pivotal moment leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, as narrated in the Gospels.

The artwork is characterized by its stark contrasts of light and shadow, a hallmark of tenebrism, which Stom employed to heighten the emotional tension and to focus the viewer's attention on the central figures. The composition captures the moment of confrontation, with Caiaphas, often shown in elaborate priestly vestments, pointing accusingly at Christ, who responds with a composed demeanor. The surrounding figures, which may include soldiers, onlookers, and members of the Sanhedrin, contribute to the narrative and the dramatic effect.

"Christ before Caiaphas" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Northern European interpretations of Caravaggesque painting. Stom's work is part of a larger body of art that reflects the religious and cultural tensions of the 17th century, as well as the international exchange of artistic techniques and themes. The painting is an important piece for studying the diffusion of Italian Baroque style into the Netherlands and the adaptation of Caravaggio's influence by Northern artists.

While the exact location of the original painting may not be well-documented, works such as "Christ before Caiaphas" by Matthias Stom are typically held in high regard by art historians and are often sought after by museums for their collections of Baroque art. The painting serves as a testament to Stom's skill and his contribution to the period's rich artistic legacy.
