Doornenkroning van Christus 1590 - 1622

This etching by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, titled “Doornenkroning van Christus” (Crowning with Thorns), depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ. The print is a detailed and dramatic illustration of the moment when Roman soldiers mock Jesus, placing a crown of thorns on his head and forcing him to kneel before them. This scene is a powerful representation of the suffering and humiliation that Jesus experienced before his crucifixion. The etching was created between 1590 and 1622 and can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
