"Christ au Roseau", or "Christ at the Column", is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, believed to be created between 1606 and 1607. This masterpiece of Baroque art intertwines the realms of light and shadow to underscore Christ's suffering and humiliation during his Passion, a theme which is recurrent in Caravaggio's oeuvre.

The painting primarily focuses on a depiction of Christ, bound to a column in a pitiful state, enduring the torments and ridicules of his executioners. The inspiration for the work stems from Biblical narratives, in particular, the accounts of the Flagellation of Christ before his crucifixion.

Caravaggio's "Christ au Roseau" is replete with his characteristic dramatic lighting and stark realism, showcasing Christ's frailty and humanity in the face of his suffering. The layers of bruised skin and the tears streaming down Christ's visage all bear testament to the meticulous attention to detail that Guido Reni, a contemporary of the artist, referred to as Caravaggio's "speaking style". The painting's haunting use of tenebrism, dramatic contrast of light and dark, heightens the overall impact, rendering a visceral interpretation of Christ's torture.

Originally, the painting was thought to have been commissioned by the Genoese Marquis Giustiniani, one of Caravaggio’s major patrons throughout his career. However, the uncertainty regarding the painting’s initial development and later transmission hampers the definitiveness of this hypothesis.

Currently, there are two versions of the painting that exist, one housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, France and the other in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum in Spain. Despite both carrying exceptional similarities, experts are still debating over the true ‘original’ and the subsequent ‘copy’.

Overall, "Christ au Roseau" stands as a powerful example of Caravaggio's innovative handling of religious themes and his revolutionary pictorial style, which have immensely contributed to his reputation as one of the most influential figures in Western art.
