Christ at the Column is an oil on panel painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance architect and painter Donato Bramante, executed c. 1490 and held at the Pinacoteca di Brera, in Milan.

The work depicts Christ tied to a column (in this case an ornate pillar with classical bas-relief decoration) before being scourged.

Even more, the details, such as the rope dangling from the neck of Christ, contribute to create that remarkable emotional apprehension that flows from the entire composition.

The procedure with which the idea of a vast colonnaded space is given is, in practice, the same used in the architecture of the fake choir of Santa Maria at San Satiro: the extension of the main elements beyond the boundaries of the painting and the suggestion of distance between foreground and background.

In this sense, the study on light stands out, creating a myriad of colored reflections, as in the reddish and blue ones in the hair and beard of Christ.
