Witness the dramatic encounters between Jesus, Judas, and the High Priest Caiaphas as depicted in various artworks from the 16th to 20th centuries. In "Jesus Before Herod" and "Jesus Before the Sanhedrin," Henry Traut's 1922 illustrations show Jesus' calm demeanor amidst the accusations. Contrastingly, in "Judas Before the Sanhedrin," the betrayer's guilt is palpable. Augustin Hirschvogel's works, such as "Jesus Being Led to Caiaphas" and "Christ Before Caiaphas and Peter Denying Christ," illustrate the intensity of the trials, with Caiaphas tearing his garments in "Christ is Mocked." Leonard Bramer's "Christ Before Caiaphas" and the unknown artist's "The Passion of Christ" depict the solemnity and gravity of the moment. Lastly, Henry Traut's "The High Priests" and "Caiaphas" offer a closer look at the religious leaders involved in these pivotal events in Christian history.
