The Flagellation of Christ (detail) 1464

"The Flagellation of Christ" is a detail from a larger fresco by Piero della Francesca. Painted in 1464, it depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ and highlights the artist's mastery of perspective and geometric precision. The figures are depicted in a serene, almost detached manner, contributing to the sense of solemn contemplation. This detail focuses on the moment just before Christ's flagellation, with the figures positioned in a balanced composition. It is a key example of the early Renaissance style in Italy and is on display at the National Gallery of the Marches in Urbino, Italy.
