The naked Christ, crowned with thorns and with the marks of the Passion on his body, his hands bound and a rope around his neck, sits on a cold rock while resignedly waiting to be crucified. On the ground are his clothing and the bare cross. With no basis in scripture, this devotional image laden with drama became very successful at the end of the Middle Ages, especially in sculpture.
