Albrecht Dürer's "Christ Before Caiaphas" is a woodcut from his "Small Passion" series, created between 1508 and 1509. This detailed print depicts the moment when Jesus is brought before the high priest, Caiaphas, who sits on a raised platform, while soldiers hold Christ captive. The scene is filled with intricate details, like the soldiers' armor and Caiaphas's elaborate robes. The use of hatching and cross-hatching, characteristic of Dürer's style, adds depth and realism to the composition, highlighting the dramatic tension of the scene.
