Dominant colour
The Passion: The Flagellation is a 1462 by Master of the Banderoles, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a scene of three men in a room. The man in the middle is naked except for a cloth around his waist. He has a halo around his head and is being whipped by the other two men. They are standing on either side of him, holding whips. The room has a high ceiling with arches and columns. The painting is done in a style that makes the figures look very realistic. The artist has used shading and light to create a sense of depth and volume. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette.
