Curatorial note
Caiaphas appears on the right, seated upon a raised throne in an open colonnaded loggia. Two men cower before him, and are scourged by two others who hold a whip and birch aloft. Men look on from the background. The subject may derive from Luke 21:12 and was illustrated by several Netherlandish artists of the period, including Marten de Vos.
This panel forms a set with a similar scene of the birching of two men, SG19, and a third panel with similar characteristics, SG20, Christ before Pilate.
