Christ Before Caiaphas 1512

Albrecht Dürer's "Christ Before Caiaphas" is a powerful and detailed engraving from 1512 depicting the biblical scene of Jesus being brought before the high priest Caiaphas. The artwork captures the dramatic tension of the moment, with Christ bound and surrounded by soldiers, while Caiaphas sits in judgment, seemingly indifferent to the suffering of Christ. The use of stark contrasts between light and shadow, and meticulous attention to detail in depicting the figures and their expressions, adds to the intensity and realism of the scene. Dürer's mastery of engraving is evident in the intricate lines and textures that bring this story from the New Testament to life.
