The Crowning with Thorns was the subject of two paintings by the Italian master Caravaggio. The first version, dated to around 1604–1605, is now in the Cassa di Risparmi e Depositi of Palazzo degli Alberti, Prato (Tuscany). The attribution to Caravaggio is disputed.

On June 25, 1605, Caravaggio wrote out, in his own hand, a contract to paint "a picture of the same size and value as the one I have already done for him of Christ's crowning", which restricts the Crowning to a period prior to this date. There is no firm evidence for a more precise dating, but the figure of Christ has been clearly influenced by the Christ in Rubens' altarpiece of The Crowning with Thorns in the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Rome, completed in April 1602. The recipient of both the Crowning with Thorns and the Ecce Homo — the painting to which the contract relates — was Massimo Massimi, a wealthy financier and art collector in the circle of Caravaggio's patron, marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani. The actual date is disputed — John Gash[1] places it in 1601–1603.
Stylistically the painting is based on Rubens's altarpiece for the pose of Christ and on Titian's treatment of the same subject (now in the Louvre) for the soldier with the staff behind Christ. But Caravaggio has reverted to the compact, symmetrical approach employed by 15th-century artists, visible in, for example, the work of Hieronymous Bosch in Christ Mocked. The gestures which define the situation are restrained and understated—the almost imperceptible actions of the tormentors focus attention on Christ, who looks up, his bound hands slightly raised almost in forgiveness.

[es] La coronación de espinas (Caravaggio, Prato)
La coronación de espinas es un cuadro de Caravaggio, que data de 1604. La obra es parte de un conjunto dedicado a la Pasión de Cristo, y muestra cómo Jesús de Nazareth es torturado por tres hombres: uno le sujeta las manos para impedir su defensa, otro le ensarta la corona de espinas y el tercero le golpea. El cuadro posiblemente tenga raíces autobiográficas, dada la vida de Caravaggio que transcurrió entre peleas y detenciones. Se encuentra en la galería del Palacio degli Alberti en Prato.[fr] Le Couronnement d'épines (Le Caravage, Prato)
Le Couronnement d'épines est un tableau du XVIIe siècle conservé au Palais des Alberti (en) à Prato jusqu'en 2011, puis dans la collection de la Banca Popolare di Vicenza à Vicence. D'après de nombreux historiens de l'art, il serait de la main de Caravage et aurait été peint vers 1605. Son attribution à Caravage n'est toutefois pas certaine.[it] Incoronazione di spine (Caravaggio Prato)
L'Incoronazione di spine è un dipinto a olio su tela di 125x178 cm, realizzato tra il 1602 e il 1603 dal pittore italiano Caravaggio. Era conservato nella galleria di Palazzo degli Alberti a Prato: dopo che la Cassa di risparmio di Prato è stata comprata dalla Banca Popolare di Vicenza, la quadreria è stata riunita a Vicenza con le altre opere della banca. A seguito dell'acquisizione di Banca Popolare di Vicenza da Intesa Sanpaolo, l'opera è tornata nella sede originaria di Prato insieme al resto della collezione.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
