Scourging of Christ

Deutsche Grafik 1490–1498, hacia 1490

This is a painting of a biblical scene depicting an individual being scourged. In the piece, an individual stands tied to a pillar, their body covered with marks and wounds. Two other individuals surround them, each wielding an instrument suggesting an act of flagellation. The scene is set against a textured background with earthy tones and a green foreground. The figures are depicted in a stylized manner typical of older religious artwork, with pronounced expressions and exaggerated forms. The image uses a palette of muted colors and is reminiscent of medieval religious art.
