Christ Crowned with Thorns | Fra Angelico | 1450

"Christ Crowned with Thorns" (c. 1450) by Fra Angelico is a striking and emotionally charged painting depicting the suffering of Christ. The composition centers on Christ's sorrowful face, with blood streaming from wounds inflicted by the sharp crown of thorns. His red-rimmed eyes and downturned lips convey a haunting sense of pain and resignation. The radiant halo behind his head, inscribed with the Greek letters for Jesus Christ, contrasts with the brutality of the thorns, underscoring the duality of divinity and human suffering. Fra Angelico’s intense realism and spiritual depth invite deep contemplation on the Passion of Christ.
