Twee Spaanse soldaten en twee geselaars met kap over het hoofd before 1581

This etching by Abraham de Bruyn, created before 1581, depicts a procession of two Spanish soldiers and two flagellants. The flagellants, identifiable by their hooded robes and bare feet, are walking in a procession, while the soldiers follow behind them. The scene is depicted in a simple style, using line work to illustrate the figures and their movement. The image is part of a larger series of illustrations, offering a glimpse into the practice of flagellation during the 16th century. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a historical perspective on religious practices and societal beliefs of the period.
