"Mocking Christ" ("Hail, King of the Jews!") is a poignant 19th-century painting by Russian artist Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoy. Created in 1872, this work is a significant example of Kramskoy's engagement with religious and historical themes, reflecting the intellectual and spiritual quests of the Russian intelligentsia during that period. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being mocked by Roman soldiers before his crucifixion, as narrated in the New Testament.

Kramskoy, a prominent figure in Russian art, was known for his critical approach to social and moral issues, and "Mocking Christ" is no exception. The painting is characterized by its somber palette and the intense emotional expression captured on Christ's face, which conveys a deep sense of suffering and dignity amidst humiliation. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with the detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, adds to the dramatic impact of the scene.

This work is often interpreted as a reflection of Kramskoy's own views on the role of the artist in society, as well as his thoughts on the human condition and the nature of suffering. "Mocking Christ" is considered one of Kramskoy's masterpieces and remains an important part of Russian art history. It is housed in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.

As a notable artwork, "Mocking Christ" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and has been featured in various exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of Kramskoy's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century Russian art. The painting's enduring relevance is a testament to Kramskoy's skill as a painter and his ability to engage with timeless themes through the lens of his contemporary society.
