Flagellation of Christ 

This drawing by Marco Benefial depicts the Flagellation of Christ, a pivotal event in Christian tradition. The scene, rendered in brown ink, showcases Christ being whipped by Roman soldiers in a confined space. The artist's masterful use of line emphasizes the contorted bodies and conveys the brutal violence of the moment. This drawing, now part of the Städel Museum's collection, serves as a powerful reminder of the suffering endured by Christ and is a poignant example of Benefial's artistic skill.
