Christ, enthroned and crowned with thorns, is mocked by four tormenters. Above the architectural background a pair of putti hold up a shield bearing the initials IHS Rectangular almost flat copper plaque, painted in black over a white enamel ground, and covered with translucent blue, turquoise, green, mulberry, and tan enamels, and opaque red, white, and black enamels, jewelling over foils, and gilding. Christ is seated on a tan-coloured throne in the centre. He holds a sceptre in his right hand which is crossed over his left on his lap, and wears a dark mulberry gown, and a green crown of thorns from which scarlet blood trickles down his forehead and neck. He is flanked by two men who are pushing the crown down on his head with rods, and another stands behind him bowing his head, and pressing the crown down with his hands. The man on the right has a blue hose, a turquoise tunic, and a blue cap with a jewelled border. The one on the left has green hose, a grey cap, and a brown armour with three jewelled medallions on the elbows and breastplate, and a blue mail shirt, visible below his waist. The one above has a blue hat and a green tunic with two jewelled buttons or brooches. In the left forground another man kneels, having doffed his hat in mocking subserviance, and rests his right hand on Christ's right arm. He has green hose, a blue tunic with a red jewel on its back, and a turquoise hat with a jewelled edge. In the foreground there is a green tiled floor with a red spot and four white dots in each lozenge-shaped tile. Behind the figures there is a black drape scatered with gold circles with a curved band of jewelling at the top, dividing them from the architectural setting of two jewelled arches rising from a central capital. In the spandrel of the arch there is a green mask below a blue shield inscribed IHS in gold, held up by two putti who lie horizontally above the arches. Remnants of lavish gilding are visible on the throne, costumes, and arches. The gilt-metal frame has eighteen rosette-headed rivets at intervals, and is set into a display frame covered in worn red velvet. Its back is covered in red damask and has a hinged damask-covered prop in the middle.

He was to the courtyard where he was dressed in a scarlet or purple robe, crowned with thorns, and mocked as King of the Jews (New Testament, Matthew, 27: 27-9; Mark 15: 17-18; and John 19: 2-3). The event was one of those usually included in representations of the Passion of Christ in Art. The composition of this Crowning with Thorns is almost similar to the right wing of a triptych in the Museo Sacro in the Vatican which lacks the shield bearing the sacred trigram at the top, and has instead one angel with outstretched wings in the spandrel instead of two flying above. The iconography was probably derived from a German engraving or woodcut of the late 15th century. The Christ and kneeling figure on the left, and the shaped edge of the dais are reminiscent of the Crowning with Thorns in a series of twelve illustrating the Passion of Christ by Martin Schongauer (c.1440/53-91), but the other figures and the architectural setting are completely different. An example of the print of the is in the British Museum, 1895,0915.244. The metal inner frame and the worn red velvet covering the wooden mount are typical of 19th century frames for Limoges painted enamels, applied by restorers such as Charles-Alfred Corplet (1827-94) and Alfred André (1839-1919). The crimson damask mount may have been made while it was in the collection of Leonard D. Cunliffe, or possibly after it entered the Fitzwilliam Museum. reference term-124749 adlib-term-124749 3cb14eef-9414-324c-8abb-f4e5e0d52ff1 16th Century, Early reference term-15498 adlib-term-15498 61725bf5-360f-3837-8aab-3c90b956a537 literal France France country Limoges reference media-115301 adlib-media-115301 099619e2-ad03-353b-8de5-600ed8a02ded jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 431 1742589612679 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 431 1742589612679 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 431 1742589612679 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_9_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 441 width pixels 250 1742589612679 1 image 0 media image reference media-115302 adlib-media-115302 e42a0347-277a-3980-b9f6-c39ccf8514fc jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 436 1742589618398 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 436 1742589618398 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 436 1742589618398 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_9_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 436 width pixels 250 1742589618398 1 image 1 media image reference media-115303 adlib-media-115303 072b59c9-2e4e-3b61-88b4-dfbae8ed0153 jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 476 1742589625286 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 476 1742589625286 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_9_1938.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 476 1742589625286 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_9_1938.jpg 1 height pixels 399 width pixels 250 1742589625286 1 image 2 media image reference media-377704362 portfolio portfolio-media-377704362 4abe02f2-f372-3b01-87f0-8b21f9703901 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/295/large_M_9_1938_1_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529370887000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/295/mid_M_9_1938_1_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529370887000 1 image M.9-1938_1_200712_mfj22_mas.tif 1529370887000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/295/preview_M_9_1938_1_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529370887000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/295/M_9_1938_1_200712_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4992 width pixels 3328 1529370887000 1 image 3 media image reference media-3959231374 portfolio portfolio-media-3959231374 895b0672-0737-382c-8224-67d004a65df9 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/296/large_M_9_1938_2_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529370888000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/296/mid_M_9_1938_2_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529370888000 1 image M.9-1938_2_200712_mfj22_mas.tif 1529370888000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/296/preview_M_9_1938_2_200712_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529370888000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/296/M_9_1938_2_200712_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4992 width pixels 3328 1529370888000 1 image 4 media image reference term-107484 adlib-term-107484 935e21d3-0b7f-3ca6-9987-b79c82e054fd plaque history note Sir Francis Cook Bart.
