Flagellation of Christ is a 1543 unspecified by Pere Serafí, depicting Jesus Christ, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a scene of Christ being whipped by two men. He is shirtless and wrapped in a white cloth around his waist, with a gold halo behind his head. The two men are dressed in dark blue tunics with gold trim and red socks, holding whips in their hands. They are standing on a tiled floor with red and white tiles. In the background, there are several people watching the scene, some of whom are holding spears or flags. The atmosphere is tense and dramatic, with a sense of violence and suffering. The painting is a powerful depiction of a pivotal moment in Christian history, and its use of color and composition creates a sense of drama and emotion.
