You see a crowd yelling at a man with a crown of thorns, blood trickling down his face. The painting was probably made for a church, but the artist is unknown. The way the light picks out Christ’s pale skin against the dark background makes him look almost alone, even with the mob around him. To see how other artists painted this same moment, search for works in the Rijksmuseum.
