Gerard van Honthorst, 1622 - Christ Crowned with Thorns - fine art print

(© Copyright - by Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

Before Christ’s trial, Roman soldiers placed a plaited crown of thorns on his head, dressed him in a cloak and mocked him. After all, was he not the ‘King of the Jews’? The scene is dramatically illuminated by a torch, held by the boy at the left. Honthorst probably made this painting for a clandestine Catholic church (schuilkerk) in Amsterdam.

At the same time, the colors of the printing material and the imprint might diverge slightly from the image on the screen.
