"Christ before Pilate" is a significant baroque painting by the Italian artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). This work, created in the 17th century, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being presented to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, prior to his crucifixion. The painting is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique characteristic of the baroque period, which Preti mastered under the influence of Caravaggio.

In the painting, Preti captures the intense emotional exchange between the stoic figure of Christ and the questioning Pilate. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged to draw the viewer's eye to the central action. The artist's use of rich colors and intricate details in the costumes and surroundings adds to the narrative's depth and the painting's overall impact.

Mattia Preti, also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese, was an artist who contributed significantly to the baroque movement, and his works are celebrated for their vivid realism and expressive power. "Christ before Pilate" is a prime example of Preti's skill in conveying complex human emotions and his ability to create a compelling narrative through visual art.

The painting is not only an important work in Preti's oeuvre but also a valuable piece for the study of baroque art and its religious themes. It is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a notable example of the cultural and artistic trends of the period in which it was created. The current location of the painting, its dimensions, and its provenance are details that would typically be included in a comprehensive encyclopedia entry, provided such information is available and verifiable.
