"The Mocking of Christ 2" by Gerrit van Honthorst is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter known for his mastery of chiaroscuro and his religious scenes. This painting, created in the 17th century, depicts the biblical event of the mocking of Jesus Christ by Roman soldiers prior to his crucifixion, a theme that has been widely represented in Christian art. Honthorst's interpretation of this scene is particularly significant for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the moment and focus the viewer's attention on the central figure of Christ.

Gerrit van Honthorst (1592–1656), also known as Gherardo delle Notti for his night scenes with strong light effects, was a prominent member of the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of Dutch painters influenced by the style of the Italian artist Caravaggio. In "The Mocking of Christ 2," Honthorst's Caravaggesque influence is evident in the stark contrasts between light and dark, as well as the realistic depiction of the figures and the palpable psychological tension.

While the exact date of creation for "The Mocking of Christ 2" is not definitively known, it is generally placed within the period of Honthorst's most active years as an artist, when he produced numerous works with religious and mythological themes. The painting is an important example of Honthorst's religious oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Northern European interpretation of Caravaggesque painting during the Baroque period.

As a significant work of art, "The Mocking of Christ 2" has been studied for its artistic and historical context, and it continues to be appreciated for its powerful depiction of a pivotal moment in the Christian narrative. The painting is also an exemplar of Honthorst's skill in manipulating light to create a sense of depth and to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.
