Mocking of Christ or Man of Sorrows: Detail of Christ
Detail of Christ ; Gossaert's print draws elements from depictions of the Man of Sorrows and the Crowning of Thorns in which a soldier or a fool presents Christ with a mock scepter, here a cattail.

Detail of Christ ; Gossaert's print draws elements from depictions of the Man of Sorrows and the Crowning of Thorns in which a soldier or a fool presents Christ with a mock scepter, here a cattail. Gossaert melded Northern and Italian sources, he quoted Christ's pose from Marcantonio Raimondi's Mars, Venus, and Eros while he derived Christ's face in profile from a print by Albrecht Durer. The image directly relates to Gossaert's painting of the same subject. The features of the man on the ground, especially his large round eyes and open mouth, resemble the figure at Christ's left, and the pose of his hand with the single finger pointing up recalls that of the man on the right. The inky black spots found throughout the image were produced by rust marks in the iron printing plate. (http://www.metmuseum.org) ; 1st of 2 states
