The Crowning with Thorns is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Titian. It is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France.
It was commissioned by the confraternity of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. It was brought to France after the Napoleonic conquest of the city in 1797.
According to Robert Haven Schauffler, the German painter Fritz von Uhde once considered it to be "the greatest picture ever painted."[1]
