About the painting
Christ Crowned with Thorns, sometimes known as Christ Mocked, is an oil on panel painting by Hieronymus Bosch. It is held in the National Gallery in London, which dates it to around 1510, though some art historians prefer earlier dates.

Another painting of the same subject in Bosch's style but with a different composition is held by the El Escorial near Madrid, Christ Crowned with Thorns; this is now usually attributed to a follower. Other paintings similar to the London version by followers of Bosch are held in several public collections, including in particular Christ Crowned with Thorns with Donor in the Koninklijk Museum in Antwerp, but also examples in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Kunstmuseum Bern, which are probably based on another painting of the subject by Bosch, now lost. Similar scenes are also included in the Passion Triptych in the Museu de Belles Arts de Valencia, also by a follower of Bosch.
