"The Mocking of Christ" is an early 17th-century artwork created by the Italian painter Annibale Carracci. Known primarily for his role in developing the Baroque style of painting, Carracci commenced this piece towards the later part of his career, around 1604. It depicts a specific moment from the Biblical narrative of Jesus Christ's life, namely his scorn and derision by the crowd prior to his crucifixion, as described in the Gospels.

Displayed in the permanent collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg in France, the artwork stands as a testament to Carracci’s nuanced understanding of physical and emotional expressions, as well as his mastery over light and shadow. The piece covers an area of 60.3 cm (23.7 in) x 47.5 cm (18.7 in) and is created using oil on canvas.

In the artwork, Christ is shown at the center of the composition, surrounded by four figures mocking and tormenting him, a scene imbued with tension and turbulence. Carracci's artistry is seen in the compelling application of chiaroscuro, a contrast between light and dark, to highlight the emotional intensity of a scene that offers deep religious significance. He also uses a dramatic application of color to underscore the public humiliation and agony that Christ is seen enduring in the painting, presenting the viewer with a vivid exploration of the human nature.

One of the many works of Carracci that illustrates a biblical narrative, "The Mocking of Christ" reflects his leaning towards naturalism and his ability in capturing the depth of human emotions, a characteristic that later acted as a cornerstone in the evolution of Baroque painting. The painting not only represents a noteworthy subject from Christian iconography but also serves as an expressive representation of the emotive potential that the Baroque style came to be known for.
