This painting depicts a scene that appears to be from Christian iconography, with five figures. In the center is a figure of a man with a crown of thorns and an expression of suffering on his face. Surrounding him are four other figures who are handling him in different ways - one is grabbing his shoulder, another has a knife raised, a third is holding an object that looks like an instrument of torture, and the last man is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. The characters' clothing and expressions reflect the atmosphere of mockery and torture.

Hieronymus Bosch (1450 -1516). Dutch painter whose real name is Jheronimus van Aken (his name is derived from the city s-Hertogenbosch). He came from a family of painters - his grandfather and uncles were all painters. Much of his work is devoted to sin and human moral failure. Bosch painted demons, half-human creatures, to evoke fear and unearth the evil hidden in man. He became famous mainly for his triptychs (the most famous is the Garden of Earthly Delights. He was the first who created and worked with the world of dreams, fantasy creatures, nightmares and fears, as a response to former medieval religious ideas (about deadly sins, a naturally sinful humanity, hell and eternal damnation).
