The Flagellation is a 1550 ink by French 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows Christ tied to a column, whipped by Roman soldiers. The scene feels harsh in black and white, like a sharp memory. The artist layered ink to show muscle and shadow. This print is a later copy made in 1968. The original from 1570 was small and rare. The green tint adds a cold glow to the violence. See how the lines cut deep into the wood.
