And they took a reed and beat Him on the head, and when they laughed at Him, they took off the scarlet from Him, and put Him on His clothes, and led Him to the crucifixion. ” It is impossible without excitement to read these gospel lines. Such in them immeasurable pain and compassion to the Man, who took the agony for the sake of saving people!
The tragic force of Titian’s painting “Crowning with a thorns crown”, which conveyed the deep suffering of man and cynicism, cruelty of executioners. Look at their mechanical movements, notice how soulless and cruel their faces are!

Among the muted colors, the cherry red cloth of the discarded purple scarf stands out particularly clearly, emphasizing the tension of what is happening.
