The Flagellation,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating artifact from the 15th century, is an anonymous masterpiece that depicts the biblical scene of Christ at the Column. This antique work of art, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is believed to have originated in Bavaria, Germany. The image is a hand-tinted drawing, executed in brown ink and brilliantly hand-colored with watercolors in yellow, red, brown lake, and green on ivory laid paper. The Flagellation is a significant representation of the Flagellation of Christ, a key event in Christian history and literature. In this illustration, Christ Jesus stands calmly as several men, including a bearded figure identified as St. Mary's brother, James the Greater, administer the scourging. The figures are meticulously drawn, their expressions conveying a range of emotions from intense focus to sorrow. This artwork is a testament to the artistic skill and devotion of the period. It is thought to have been part of a blockbook or booklet, a popular form of illustrated literature during the fifteenth century. The reverse side of the paper bears manuscript text in pen and brown ink, further emphasizing its historical significance. The use of color adds depth and emotion to the drawing, with the predominantly brown and black tones contrasting beautifully against the vibrant greens and reds. The intricate details, such as the folds in Christ's robe and the textures of the men's clothing, are remarkable for their time. The Flagellation is a precious heritage art piece that continues to captivate viewers with its powerful depiction of faith, perseverance, and the human condition. This anonymous work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the rich cultural heritage of Europe.
