EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flagellation of Christ," a masterpiece by Albrecht Altdorfer, painted around 1513, offers a hauntingly powerful depiction of the biblical scene where Jesus is scourged at the pillar before his crucifixion. This woodcut print, a testament to Altdorfer's artistic genius, captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment. Christ, identified by his distinctive crown of thorns and the red marks of the scourging, stands at the center, his body taut with pain and determination. The flagellants, clad in coarse garments, are shown in various stages of whipping him, their faces twisted in anger and hatred. The scene is set against a backdrop of a desolate, rocky landscape, with the ominous figure of Antipas, the Roman governor, looking on with a smirk. This powerful image, a significant work from the Sixteenth Century, is a poignant reminder of the Passion of Christ and the ultimate sacrifice he made for humanity. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and convey the deepest emotions and concepts of the human experience. The Flagellation of Christ is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human condition. It is a work that transcends time and culture, speaking to the universal themes of suffering, redemption, and the human spirit. This woodcut print is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
