1600s 1610s 1620s Life Of Christ Ridicule

EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Christ Mocked (Image 1 of 2) Date: c.1600-1625 Description: This evocative 17th century sculpture depicts a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ, as recorded in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Known as "Christ Mocked," the scene portrays a scornful crowd jeering and taunting Jesus Christ as he stands before them, stripped of his clothes and wearing a crown of thorns. The bronze figure exudes a sense of profound sadness and humiliation, as he endures the mockery and ridicule with unwavering composure. Origin: The creator of this hauntingly beautiful work remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. This Italian sculpture, likely produced between the late 1600s and early 1620s, is a poignant reminder of the depths of human cruelty and the transcendent power of faith. Provenance: This evocative work of art is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and move visitors from around the world. The bronze sculpture, with its intricate details and somber expression, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the seventeenth century. Context: The "Life of Christ" is a popular theme in Christian art, with numerous depictions of the Passion and the Stations of the Cross. The image of Christ being mocked is particularly poignant, as it underscores the depth of human suffering and the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus for the salvation of humanity. This powerful sculpture serves as a testament to the enduring influence of religious art and the human capacity for both cruelty and compassion.
