Mocking of Christ

Anthony van Dyck

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene from the Bible. A shirtless man with a crown of thorns on his head and a halo behind him sits with his hands on his lap. A man to his left, with a beard and a cloth draped over his shoulder, holds a long stick with a thorn-like object on the end. A man behind him wears a helmet and holds a long stick. The image is in black and white, and the title is "Mocking of Christ" by Anthony van Dyck. The image shows a dark background with lines radiating from the halo. Text is written in Latin at the bottom.
