Flagellation of a nobleman is a 1890 oil by Bolesław Łaszczyński, a Realism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a scene of flagellation, with a man kneeling on the floor, his back exposed and his hands tied behind him. He is wearing red pants and a white cloth around his waist. Another man, dressed in black, stands behind him, holding a whip. A third man, seated in a chair, observes the scene with a serious expression. The room is decorated with a mix of patterns and textures, including a red and gold tapestry on the wall, a floral-patterned tablecloth, and a rug on the floor. The atmosphere is somber and intense, with a sense of drama and tension. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the emotional impact of the scene.
