The Mocking of Christ 1529

"The Mocking of Christ" is a stained glass panel created by Jan Rombouts in 1529. The scene depicts the moment when Jesus Christ is mocked by Roman soldiers after his arrest. The soldiers are shown placing a crown of thorns on Jesus' head and striking him with a reed. The detailed figures and vibrant colors of the panel highlight the emotional intensity of this pivotal event in the Passion of Christ narrative. This artwork is a stunning example of Northern Renaissance stained glass and is a key piece in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
