Christ Bound and Crowned with Thorns
Andrea SolarioItalian (active Venice, Milan, Normandy, and Rome), first dated work 1495, died 1524
Christ endured a series of trials prior to his crucifixion, including being bound and crowned with thorns. Andrea Solario depicts Christ after these events and includes a reed that appears as a sort of scepter. Such devotional imagery depicting the lone figure of Christ became increasingly popular in Italy during the fifteenth century.
