Bosch organizes the confrontation through looks and colors, Titian and Tintoretto amplify the movement, while Caravaggio concentrates the light on the gestures and bodies. The crown, the red coat and the reed make the subject immediately recognizable. The selection " Coronation of Thorns compares The Coronation of Thorns - Hieronymus Bosch and The Coronation of Thorns - Caravaggio. His reading favors drawing.
Under the appearance of royalty derided, the painting reveals an inner authority that neither the gestures nor the looks of the executioners manage to break.
