«Cristo coronado de espinas por los malhechores, un gran cuadro de Caravaggio»

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Caravaggio painting
Yet another title of a painting by Caravaggio...:

Otra de las hipótesis la formuló Pesenti (1992, p. 77), el cual identificó en el cuadro del Palazzo Bianco el «Cristo coronado de espinas por los malhechores, un gran cuadro de Caravaggio», mencionado por Ratti (1780, p. 121) en la colección genovesa de Pietro Gentile. Esta hipótesis no parece demasiado probable por razones iconográficas y por el hecho de que las circunstancias históricas hacen pensar que ese cuadro en realidad se trataba de una versión de Gentileschi sobre aquel tema (cfr. Boccardo 2000, p. 210 nota 17).

(The) Crowning with Thorns

Hola Huw,
Me parece que se trata de este cuadro, en la mayoría de las fuentes el título es simplemente: "(The) Crowning with Thorns".

\"...Caravaggio frequently inserted self-portraits in his paintings, sometimes in an androgynous style. The same faces turn up repeatedly in his paintings. For example in ****The Crowning with Thorns**** at least two of the three men besides the figure of Christ were modeled after the same person. ...\"

The Crowning with Thorns

I don't get the "por los malhechores" part, because this painting depicts guards. Maybe yours text refers to another one?

Oil on canvas, 127 x 165,5 cm
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna
A much debated painting. Some scholars give the painting to Caracciolo, others consider it as a high quality copy of a lost Caravaggio.
The front boundary of the picture is articulated by a wooden barrier, on which the captain is leaning, in order to observe the action but take no part in it. He watches the executioner's half-naked assistants abuse Christ at his behest. The powerful figure of the suffering victim, sitting almost naked on a bench, seems larger than he is. Christ's shoulderline continues the shallow diagonal which began with the white feather of the captain's hat, on the left.
