EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Penitent" by Jan van Grevenbroeck, a renowned Dutch artist from the 18th century. The artwork, created with pen and ink as well as watercolor on paper, is housed in the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The image depicts a figure dressed in a black robe engaging in an act of self-flagellation. This individual, known as a penitent or flagellant, demonstrates intense religious fervor and zealotry through their actions. Their face is concealed by a hood, adding an air of mystery to their identity. The traditional costume worn by the penitent adds to the historical context of this piece. As they whip themselves with what appears to be great force and determination, blood stains can be seen on their body - evidence of their mortification and suffering for their faith. Van Grevenbroeck's painting skillfully captures the pain and agony experienced by this flagellant. The intricate details bring forth emotions that resonate deeply within viewers' hearts. This print serves as a powerful reminder of religious practices from centuries ago while also highlighting themes such as sacrifice and devotion. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our own beliefs and contemplate how far we are willing to go for what we hold dear.
