EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Mocking of Christ" takes us back to the 17th century in China. Created by an unknown Chinese artist from that era, this powerful image is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The scene depicted here is taken from Giulio Alenios' "Tianzhu jiangsheng zhuxiang jingjie" (An Illustrated History of the Lord of Heaven Who Became Incarnate in the Flesh), specifically showcasing a plate called "The Mocking of Christ". It portrays Jesus Christ during his arrest and subsequent mocking before his crucifixion. Intricately detailed, we see Jesus bound and surrounded by soldiers who taunt him with a crown made of thorns. The tension and anguish on his face are palpable as he endures this cruel treatment. The composition skillfully captures both the physical restraint imposed upon him and the emotional weight he carries. This woodblock print not only serves as a testament to Chinese artistry but also highlights Christianity's presence in China during this period. It offers viewers a glimpse into religious practices and beliefs that transcended borders centuries ago. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, we can now appreciate this historical artwork digitally while contemplating its profound message about sacrifice, faith, and resilience.
