''The Mocking of Christ'' is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by the artist for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, where he lived as a Dominican friar. Painted between 1440 and 1441, the fresco is located in the convent's Chapter House and is one of the many devotional images Fra Angelico produced during his time there.

The fresco depicts the biblical scene of the Mocking of Christ, as described in the New Testament, where Jesus is humiliated by soldiers before his crucifixion. In Fra Angelico's interpretation, Christ is shown seated, bound, and blindfolded, surrounded by his tormentors who are depicted in the act of mocking and deriding him. The scene is notable for its emotional intensity and the use of color and light, which were characteristic of Fra Angelico's style and contributed to the narrative and devotional impact of the work.

Fra Angelico's approach to religious art was marked by a combination of devout spirituality and artistic innovation. His works are renowned for their serene and pious figures, as well as for their pioneering use of perspective and chiaroscuro, which would influence later Renaissance artists. ''The Mocking of Christ'' exemplifies the artist's ability to convey complex theological ideas and human emotions through his art, making it a significant piece within the canon of Christian religious painting.

The fresco is considered an important work in the study of Renaissance art and is often cited for its contribution to the development of narrative in fresco painting. It remains an enduring testament to Fra Angelico's mastery of the medium and his deep religious conviction, and it continues to be admired for its spiritual and artistic qualities by visitors to the Convent of San Marco, now a museum, and by scholars of art history.
