"Crowning with Thorns" (1618-1620) is a significant religious painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist known for his influential contributions to portraiture and religious art. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the mocking of Jesus, where Roman soldiers crown Christ with a wreath of thorns in a gesture of cruel irony, acknowledging him as 'King of the Jews' in a painful and humiliating manner. This work is one of several treatments of the subject by Van Dyck, created during his early period before he became court painter to Charles I of England.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. Van Dyck's mastery of composition and his ability to convey the psychological torment of Christ, as well as the callousness of his tormentors, are evident in this work. The figures are rendered with a dynamism and a naturalism that reflect the influence of his teacher, Peter Paul Rubens, while also showcasing Van Dyck's own developing style.
