Christus voor Kajafas 1661 - 1684

Gaspar Huybrechts' 17th century engraving, "Christus voor Kajafas," depicts a dramatic scene from the Bible. The print portrays the moment Jesus is stripped of his clothing before being brought to Pontius Pilate. This work, created between 1661 and 1684, exemplifies the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, dynamic composition, and emotional intensity. Huybrechts was a Flemish artist known for his engravings and drawings. The image conveys the tension and injustice of Jesus's trial, with the figure of Christ standing stoically amidst a crowd of soldiers and officials.
