The Passion: Christ Before the High Priest

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene with a man standing in the center, wearing a helmet and a cloth wrapped around his waist, with his right arm raised. He is barefoot and has a large build. To his right stands another man with long hair, wearing a long robe, and barefoot. To the left of the central figure, a man sits on a chair-like object, wearing a helmet and armor, and holding a shield. He appears to be looking at the central figure. Behind them, several men in armor and helmets are visible, some holding spears. The background shows a wall or structure made of vertical lines, suggesting a building or enclosure. The entire scene is rendered in black and white.
