EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from the Netherlands town of Tournai (Doornik) in the year 1349. In an attempt to rid the world of the devastating Black Death, a group known as the Flagellants, or Brothers of the Cross, can be seen scourging themselves as they solemnly walk through the streets. Clad in robes and hats, these men display unwavering devotion and fanaticism towards their cause. The image is rendered in vibrant colors through a chromolithograph after Chronica Aegidii Li Muisius, adding depth and intensity to this medieval tableau. Each figure's pain-stricken face reflects their belief that flagellation will bring relief from this deadly epidemic. Religion plays a central role in this procession, with Christianity serving as both solace and motivation for these flagellants. Their act of self-inflicted punishment symbolizes their deep faith and desire to cleanse society from disease. The historical significance of this image cannot be understated; it offers us a glimpse into life during one of humanity's darkest periods. The Black Death ravaged Europe during the 14th century, causing widespread death and suffering. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of human resilience but also highlights how religious fervor can manifest itself even in times of great crisis. As we observe these flagellants walking through Tournai's streets, we are transported back to an era when faith was both powerful medicine and potent weapon against adversity.
