Christ Crowned in Thorns

This beautiful painting by Josef Kastner the Younger draws one in with its beauty and soft colors. The beauty of the glorious crown which was earned, for not only Christ, but all of humanity through His suffering. This fresco was painted during the early 1900s by Austrian painter Joseph Kastner the Younger. Not much is known about this painter, but his glorious works remain as an enduring testament to his immense love of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Most of his gorgeous frescos are in a private Carmelite chapel in Dobling, Austria.

Fresco painting is a method of painting water-based pigments on freshly applied plaster, usually on wall surfaces. The colors, which are made by grinding dry-powder pigments in pure water, dry and set with the plaster to become a permanent part of the wall. So gorgeous!
