Christ before Caiaphas 1535

"Christ before Caiaphas" is a 1535 woodcut by Sebald Beham depicting the moment when Jesus is brought before the Jewish High Priest, Caiaphas. The image shows Christ, flanked by two guards, being questioned by Caiaphas, who gestures with his right hand. The scene takes place in a grand hall, with architectural features reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance. Beham's use of fine lines and shading creates a dramatic and emotive scene, reflecting the tension and injustice of the moment.
