"Christ before Pilate" (1649-50) is an oil painting by Nicolaes Maes, a Dutch Golden Age artist who was one of Rembrandt's most accomplished students. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being presented to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, prior to his crucifixion. This theme has been a recurrent subject in Christian art, symbolizing the moment of judgement and the clash between earthly and divine authority.

Maes was known for his genre scenes and portraits, but early in his career, he also painted a number of religious subjects, influenced by his master Rembrandt's dramatic chiaroscuro and psychological depth. "Christ before Pilate" is a prime example of Maes's religious works, showcasing his skill in handling complex compositions and his ability to convey narrative tension and emotional resonance.

The painting is characterized by its strong use of light and shadow, which highlights the central figures and underscores the gravity of the moment. The expressions and gestures of the figures are rendered with a keen attention to detail, reflecting Maes's interest in the inner lives of his subjects. The work's dimensions, current location, and provenance, if known, would typically be included here to provide a more complete understanding of the painting's history and physical context.

As a significant work from Nicolaes Maes's oeuvre, "Christ before Pilate" offers insight into the artist's development and the broader trends in Dutch painting during the mid-17th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of religious narrative in art and the capacity of painting to capture complex human emotions and moral dilemmas.
