Ikonographie: Christus vor dem Hohepriester
Christ before the High Priest
Christ was brought before the High Priest by whom he was questioned about his teachings (Matthew 26: 57-66). The intense atmosphere of the scene is heightened by the ingenious use of a visible light source. Painted in Rome under the influence of Caravaggio, this picture became one of Van Honthorst's most celebrated works.
