Caravaggio - The Crowning with Thorns

 * Reason:Because it is a Caravaggio. Own article, Google art file this time, and Caravaggio is considered as a minor genius in the art history, striking and innovative. His influence created the Barock style, and influenced generations of painters of the Baroque style - as I said before, like Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Bernini, and yes, even Rembrandt.

 * Comment I found a painting by a follower of Caravaggio, the Dutch painter Hendrick ter Brugghen, that shows this scene from a different angle, revealing more clearly what the two men are doing with the sticks. It's called "Christ Crowned with Thorns" and it is the second painting in the gallery in the ter Brugghen article at Hendrick ter Brugghen. CorinneSD (talk) 01:12, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
