The Mocking of Christ
The Mocking of Christ is a small 13th-century panel painting by the Italian artist Cimabue, in tempera on a poplar panel. It depicts the mocking of Jesus and is one of three panels known from Cimabue's Diptych of Devotion. It was discovered in the kitchen of an elderly woman in northern France. In October 2019 it sold at auction for €24 million, a record for an artwork predating the 16th century. It is believed to be the first work by Cimabue to have been auctioned. Following an export ban, it was acquired by the Louvre in 2023.Painting credit: Cimabue

Hello!

I'm a linguistics student with a focus on Indo-European languages and Proto-Indo-European. I’ve taken a recent interest in human evolution, especially the evolution of language and the production of Stone Age tools. I'm also Buddhist, and try to take my faith very seriously. You'll see me mainly editing articles in those spheres. Please take any comments or concerns to my talk page :)
