Painting
[edit]The painting is a small painting intended for private devotion that depicts a the head of Christ crowned with thorns, standing in half profile turns his head towards the viewer.
In early twenties of the sixteenth century when the Correggio was particularly interested in the study of "movements of the soul" of the characters of sacred history. The intense pathos of the face of Christ who looks at the viewers, as if to implore their mercy, according to art historian John Shearman as a typical example of a work "transitive", ie able to be completed only with the presence of an observer in front of the framework, favoring the emotional participation of observer,
Christ, has his lips slightly parted, as if he would like to speak to the viewer. Through the use of the alternate strong lights and deep shadows the chiaroscuro is highlighting the line of the nose, the cheekbones, following the neck giving it a a sense of volume. All this, however, is softened by the muted tones of the nuances that, related to the body of the color, make it one of the most distinguishable .
As Christ stumbled under the weight of the cross he bore on the way to his crucifixion, Saint Veronica comforted him and wiped his face with her veil. According to legend, Christ's features were miraculously imprinted on the fabric. In this haunting depiction, Correggio painted Veronica's veil as the white cloth in the background. Christ faces the viewer and parts his lips as if to speak.
