Antonello da Messina - Christ Crowned with Thorns - fine art print

Original artwork description by the museum's website (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

An artist of astonishing originality, Antonello combined a Netherlandish mastery of description with an Italian emphasis on formal presentation and expression. This painting may date as early as 1470. To increase its function as an aid to meditation, Christ is shown behind a parapet—a convention Antonello appropriated from portraiture. The device enhances the effect of Christ’s physical presence and suffering: "a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief" (Isaiah 53:3).
