The painting can be attributed to the 17th century both for the copper support and for the pictorial material. Certainly, the reference to the homonymous work by the painter Antoon Van Dick for subject and style. Flemish area of placement. The work under examination is a 17th century painting on copper that presents as its subject that taken from the "Crowning with Thorns" by the Flemish painter Antoon Van Dyck. The strong stylistic references and adherence to the theme logically suggest the production of a school created in a Flemish environment when Van Dyck was still active and operative. In particular, the chromatic range, the anatomical rendering of the subjects described, the strong pathos released by the image of Christ of the Passion.
