"Cristo Deriso," also known as "Christ Mocked," is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Lodovico Carracci, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. Lodovico, a member of the prominent Carracci family of painters, which included his cousins Annibale and Agostino, played a crucial role in the development of the Baroque style in Bologna and beyond. The Carracci were known for their innovative approach to art, blending the naturalism of the Renaissance with the dynamism and emotion of the Baroque.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of Christ being mocked and tormented by his captors before his crucifixion. This theme, common in Christian art, is portrayed with a particular emphasis on the emotional and psychological suffering of Christ, a characteristic of Baroque sensibility. Lodovico's mastery of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—is evident in this work, as is his skillful use of color and composition to evoke empathy from the viewer.

"Cristo Deriso" is noted for its dramatic intensity and the realistic depiction of Christ's humanity. The figures surrounding Christ are often portrayed with exaggerated expressions and gestures, heightening the sense of cruelty and mockery that Christ endures. Lodovico's treatment of the subject matter reflects the Counter-Reformation's call for art that would inspire piety and devotion through vivid and accessible storytelling.

The painting is part of the collection of the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, which houses many important works by the Carracci family and their school. As a significant example of Lodovico Carracci's work and the Baroque style, "Cristo Deriso" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical importance, contributing to our understanding of the period's religious and cultural context.
