Titian ~ The Crowning with Thorns



Life and restless action steal the scene in Titian’s paintings.
  
Delacroix, a painter with a similarly bold and passionate style said of Titian’s work, “In his work pictorial qualities are brought to their highest point; what he paints is painted; eyes look and are animated by the fire of life. Life and reason are apparent everywhere.”

And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him.”
Mark 15:17
