"Hoved af den tornekronede Kristus" (Head of the Crowned Christ), a 1847 drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, depicts a close-up of Christ's head adorned with a crown of thorns. The detailed pencil work creates a sense of realism and pathos, highlighting the suffering endured by Christ. Rørbye, known for his refined depictions of historical and religious subjects, captures the anguish and solemnity of the moment, offering a poignant visual representation of Christ's sacrifice. This drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, serves as a testament to Rørbye's skill and the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
