Christus voor Kajafas 1590 - 1638

"Christus voor Kajafas" is a 17th-century etching by an anonymous artist. It depicts the biblical scene of Jesus being brought before the high priest, Kajafas, who is seated on a throne. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of the figures, the dramatic use of light and shadow, and the inscription in Latin, which quotes the Bible passage from the Gospel of Matthew that the artwork depicts. The etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
