Torturers and executioners of Christ show him plenty of aggressive, mocking and obscene ges\u00ad tures, some of such characters are dressed as clowns, but such imagery only starts to appear after 13th century. This paper traces back the sources (passion treaties, mystery plays, architectural and book marginalia) and ways by which these motifs were transferred to visual narrative. The author finds visual parallels, that allow to compare Christ\u2019s torture to a game, and analyses semantics of gestures and grimaces, including tongue stuck out and mouth stretched.<br><em>Keywords<\/em>: demons; gestures; iconography; laughter; marginalia; obscene; Passions of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-be590a40-b05f-4dfa-85f1-6098c2dfefda\">FOR CITATION<br><em>\u041c\u0430\u0439\u0437\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0441 \u041c.\u0420.<\/em> \u0421\u043c\u0435\u0445 \u043a\u0430\u043a \u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0443\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u043d\u0430\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438\u044f \u0432 \u0438\u043a\u043e\u043d\u043e\u0433\u0440\u0430\u0444\u0438\u0438 \u0421\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0439 \u0425\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0445 (XIV-XVI \u0432\u0432.)
