The Crowning with Thorns is a painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Executed probably in 1603, it is now located in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
According to Caravaggio's biographer Giovanni Bellori a Crowning with Thorns was made for Caravaggio's patron Vincenzo Giustiniani, and this painting can be traced convincingly to the Giustiniani collection.
