1484

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Flagellation of Christ is a 1484 by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image looks like a faded, textured print with dark brown and cream colors. The scene shows a group of figures in what appears to be a dimly lit room, with some standing and others kneeling. The faces and details are hard to make out, but the overall mood feels tense and serious. The print’s rough, almost sketchy look suggests it was made quickly, possibly as a study or a devotional image. The technique here uses strong contrasts between light and dark, which was common in religious art of the time. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick worked in Renaissance art.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
