Christ Crowned with Thorns

Deutsche Grafik 1490–1498, hacia 1490

This is a painting of four figures in a scene. The central figure sits passively with a halo above their head and a crown-like object on top. Surrounding figures are depicted in dynamic poses: one figure on the left raises a stick, another figure on the right leans forward while holding a staff, and the figure in the foreground appears to be presenting something. Each figure is dressed in distinctly colored garments: the central figure in red, the left figure in green, the right figure in red, and the foreground figure in blue. The background features swirling blue and beige patterns. The style is reminiscent of medieval or early Renaissance woodcuts with bold outlines and a limited color palette.
