Christ appears as a man, suffering
the pain of his Passion. His hands
are tied and he wears a purple robe
and a Crown of thorns. This type of
devotional image is typical of
Counterreformation art and is one
of the finest of this kind painted
by Titian.
This work was taken to the
Monastery of Yuste in Caceres by
the Emperor, which confirms the
predilection he must have felt for
it.
It was given to Carlos V
(1500-1558) by Titian in Augsburg
in 1548 and entered the Prado
Museum collection in 1821.
