Diptych with the Passion of Christ (right wing): Crowning with Thorns and Agony on the Garden

The print file prints up to 7.2 x 11.3 in at 300 ppi — enough for a full 6 x 9 in front cover. Taller than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 4% of the height.

This diptych, or two-panel painting, is hinged at the center so that it could be opened and closed and easily transported. It was clearly designed as an object for private devotion. The owner would have been able to contemplate the Passion of Christ and pray before these scenes. The top two images depict Christ’s scourging at the pillar and the crowning of thorns, while the lower two show Jesus before Pontius Pilate and in the Garden of Gethsemane. The scenes would have been read clockwise beginning with the lower right.
