Geseling 1582 - 1671

This engraving, titled "Geseling" (Flagellation), by Heinrich Ulrich, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus being scourged by Roman soldiers before his crucifixion. The artwork, created between 1582 and 1671, is a powerful visual representation of Christ's suffering and is part of a larger series exploring his final hours. The detail and realism of the figures, combined with the inscription "Circude derût me viri mendaces fine caufa flagellis ceciderüt me" (They have surrounded me with liars, without cause they have struck me with whips), enhance the viewer's understanding of the emotional weight of this poignant moment in Christian history. "Geseling" is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
