Hans Holbein the Elder's "Christ Crowned with Thorns" (1501) depicts the moment when Jesus is mocked and crowned with thorns by Roman soldiers before his crucifixion. The painting is a powerful example of Northern Renaissance art, known for its realism and attention to detail. The figures are depicted in a dramatic and expressive manner, with the focus on Christ's suffering and the cruelty of his tormentors. The painting is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany.
