Christ Crowned with Thorns c. 1470

"Christ Crowned with Thorns" is a 15th-century woodcut print by an anonymous artist that depicts the moment when Jesus is being mocked by soldiers before his crucifixion. The scene takes place in a crowded setting with soldiers crowding around Jesus. The detailed linework and intricate pattern of the soldiers' clothing and the tiled floor lend a sense of realism and drama to the composition. This artwork is a poignant reminder of Jesus' suffering and sacrifice, and it is a powerful example of the expressive potential of woodcut printing.
