"Cristo Deriso" (also known as "The Crowning with Thorns" or "Christ Mocked") is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created circa 1602-1607. The work depicts the moment from the Passion of Christ when Jesus is subjected to mockery and torture by Roman soldiers, who crown him with thorns and robe him in a purple cloak as a form of cruel irony, hailing him mockingly as the 'King of the Jews'. This theme was a common subject in Christian art, meant to evoke empathy and reflection on the suffering of Christ.

Caravaggio is known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic approach to human figures and emotions. In "Cristo Deriso," he employs these techniques to powerful effect, highlighting the stark contrasts between light and shadow and capturing the intense expressions of both the tormentors and the victim. The painting's composition draws the viewer's attention to the central figure of Christ, whose serene and resigned demeanor contrasts sharply with the aggressive postures and jeering faces of the soldiers.

The exact date of the painting's creation and its initial location are not definitively known, but it is believed to have been painted during Caravaggio's mature period when he was active in Rome and Naples. "Cristo Deriso" is one of several works by Caravaggio on the subject of Christ's Passion, each expressing a different aspect of the event with emotional depth and technical mastery.

The painting has been held in various collections over the centuries and has been the subject of extensive art historical research and analysis. It is considered one of Caravaggio's significant religious works, exemplifying his influence on the Baroque style and his ability to convey complex human experiences with visceral immediacy. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the location of "Cristo Deriso" is in the collection of the Palazzo Bianco in Genoa, Italy.
