About the piece
Created around 1612, Orazio Gentileschi’s 'Christ Crowned with Thorns' is a profound example of the Caravaggesque style. The painting uses dramatic chiaroscuro to emphasize the physical reality of the figures, featuring the artist’s characteristic attention to the luminous quality of skin and the intricate folds of fabric.
