The Mocking of Christ (German: Die Verspottung Christi) is an early oil on wood painting (1503–1505) by Matthias Grünewald.

A torturer who pulls on the rope stands before him, with his back turned to the viewer.

Another stands behind Christ and tugs on his hair and has raised his fist to strike him.

On the right a man with a staff in his left hand and with his other holds back the second torturer, who appears not to notice him.

In the background are three further men: on the left a musician who plays a flute with one hand while beating a small drum with the other, a youth near the center of the image, and an older man on the right.
