Grünewald's the Mocking of Christ (1503) is a colourful, vehemently expressive Renaissance painting demonstrating his ability to create dazzling light effects.

The mocking of Christ is part of the passion of Jesus. It occurred several times, after Christ's trial and before his crucifixion. Matthias Grünewald's painting depicts Jesus blindfolded and being beaten by a band of grotesque men.

Grünewald uses figural distortion to portray violence and tragedy. The figures are thick-bodied, soft, and fleshy, done in a manner suggestive of the Italian High Renaissance.

My figure sort of blends in with the gang and you can see him filming the whole scene with his phone. Is he mocking Christ in a modern way?

Mocking Of Christ is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the front and back.
