Today is Good Friday, also called Holy Friday, a day when Christians worldwide commemorate the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This late 15th or 16th century French sculpture depicts Jesus’ second presentation to the mob following the scourging and mocking done by Pilate’s soldiers. Christ had been dressed in a purple robe and crown of thorns by the soldiers, and was brought out to the crowd. The exact original context for this sculpture is not known, though its size, condition and relative portability suggests it may have been displayed inside a church or chapel. -- source link
