Painting of the Italian artist Caravaggio “crowning with thorns crown”. The size of the painting is 127 x 165,5 cm, canvas, oil. Amazing concreteness and materiality of forms are distinguished by customized religious works of the artist, which brought him scandalous fame by unusual vitality and democracy.
Boldly interprets Caravaggio religious images, not being afraid of rudeness and harshness, telling them the features of similarity with the common people. The painter finds his heroes among fishermen, artisans, soldiers – men of solid, endowed with strength of character.
With sharp contrasts of light and shade, he strengthens the powerful, almost plastic modeling of forms, bringing the figures closer to the foreground of the picture, showing them in complex foreshortenings, emphasizing their significance, monumentality.
