Doornenkroning van Christus 17th century

This 17th-century drawing by Italian artist Giacomo Cavedone depicts the “Crowning with Thorns,” a scene from the Passion of Christ. The composition features a dramatic and dynamic portrayal of the moment when Christ is being mocked and crowned with thorns by soldiers. The artist's use of charcoal and shading creates a sense of realism and depth, while the grid lines visible on the paper suggest a preparatory study for a larger painting. This drawing demonstrates Cavedone's skill in depicting human figures in a poignant and emotional context, making it a valuable example of his artistic prowess.
