Encyclopedic overview
Christ Crowned with Thorns by Matthias Stom (c. 1633–1639) shows Jesus in his Passion as the "Lord of Patience" with the crown of thorns and sceptre reed, being mocked by Roman soldiers.
The Passion (from Latin patior 'to suffer, bear, endure') is the short final period before the death of Jesus, described in the four canonical gospels. It is commemorated in Christianity every year during Holy Week.
