The Flagellation of Christ who is tied to a column at center set within an arcade 1509

This 1509 engraving by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia depicts the Flagellation of Christ, a scene of intense suffering often portrayed in religious art. Christ is bound to a column in a classical arcade, the architectural setting adding a sense of formality and grandeur. The figures of the tormentors are rendered with dramatic realism, their contorted poses and expressions highlighting the violence of the scene. This work exemplifies the artistic style of the High Renaissance, characterized by attention to detail, naturalistic depiction, and a focus on human emotions.
