Antonello da Messina's Christ Crowned with Thorns, an oil on wood, finds it effectiveness in its union and thus amplification of traditionally disparate techniques. Among Renaissance portraiture, it is distinctive for its combination of Southern geometric rigor and application of light and color with Northern narrative detail and representation of physical space.

Among devotional images, it is distinctive for its most abiding feature, a deep humanity within this godly figure, deep within the eyes that indicate an inner psychological life.
