"Die Verspottung Christi, umgeben von Grisaillen mit der Kreuzigung und der Auferstehung Christi, mit Darstellungen des Himmels, der Hölle und der vier Evangelisten" (The Mocking of Christ, surrounded by grisailles with the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Christ, with depictions of Heaven, Hell, and the Four Evangelists) is a significant work by the Flemish Baroque painter Frans II Francken (1581–1642). This artwork exemplifies Francken's skill in religious compositions and his ability to integrate complex theological themes into his paintings.

The central panel of the painting vividly portrays the mocking of Christ, a scene from the Passion where Jesus is ridiculed by his captors before his crucifixion. Surrounding this central image are grisaille depictions of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, which are rendered in a monochromatic palette to resemble stone reliefs or sculptures. This technique not only highlights the central scene but also creates a visual narrative that guides the viewer through the pivotal events of Christian salvation history.

In addition to these central themes, Francken includes representations of Heaven and Hell, offering a stark contrast between the eternal rewards of the faithful and the torments of the damned. The inclusion of the Four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—anchors the work in the scriptural basis of the Christian faith, with each Evangelist possibly accompanied by their traditional symbols: the angel, the lion, the ox, and the eagle, respectively.

Frans II Francken was a member of the Francken family of artists, which played a prominent role in Antwerp's art scene during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the blending of religious and allegorical subjects. "Die Verspottung Christi" is a testament to Francken's mastery of composition and his ability to convey complex iconography with clarity and emotional depth. The painting is an important example of Counter-Reformation art, reflecting the Catholic Church's emphasis on the visual arts to inspire devotion and communicate religious principles during a time of religious upheaval in Europe.
