Christ Gathering His Garments after the Flagellation is a 1674 oil by Juan Correa, a Baroque work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man kneels on a rocky floor, wrapping a white cloth around his waist. His back shows marks from a recent beating. A beam of light cuts across the dark room. This was painted in Mexico in the 1670s. It shows a Spanish twist on a common scene—Jesus getting dressed after a scourging. The light feels almost harsh, like a spotlight on stage. Check out how Correa, Juan used deep shadows to make the moment feel real.
