Cristo Deriso, also known as The Mocking of Christ, is a 17th-century oil painting by the French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, also known as the Master of the Candlelight. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the mocking of Jesus Christ by Roman soldiers prior to his crucifixion, an event described in the New Testament. Bigot, who spent a significant part of his career in Italy, was known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and tenebrism, techniques that are evident in this work.

The painting is characterized by its stark contrasts of light and shadow, with a single light source illuminating the scene, creating a theatrical effect that heightens the emotional intensity of the subject matter. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was typical of the Caravaggesque style, which Bigot was influenced by during his time in Italy. The central figure of Christ is portrayed with a serene expression, enduring the torment and ridicule from the figures around him, which are depicted with various expressions of cruelty and mockery.

Cristo Deriso is considered an important work in Bigot's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing human emotion and his mastery of light. The painting's current location and provenance are not well-documented in public sources, and it may reside in a private collection or a lesser-known institution. As such, detailed scholarly analysis and public accessibility of the painting may be limited. However, the work remains a significant example of French Baroque painting and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic exchanges between France and Italy during the 17th century.
