"Christus aan de geselpaal" (Christ at the Pillar) is an etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut, dating from 1618-1655 and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This detailed print depicts Christ bound to a pillar, his head bowed in pain, his body tense with anticipation of the impending scourging. Schut's meticulous rendering of Christ's physical suffering, combined with the dramatic composition, evokes a sense of emotional intensity and devotional piety, appealing to viewers seeking religious inspiration.
