EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 14th-century painting, titled "The Flagellation" by Luca di Tommè, depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Christ as described in the New Testament. The scene shows Christ, identified by the distinctive red halo above his head, being scourged at the pillar by several men. Among them is the figure of Guy, who is traditionally believed to have provided the column for the Flagellation. The painting, executed in tempera on panel, is an exquisite example of the International Gothic style prevalent in the Low Countries during the 14th century. The figures are rendered with great detail and emotion, conveying the intensity and physicality of the scene. Christ's anguished expression and the bloodied state of his back serve as a powerful reminder of his suffering and sacrifice. The Flagellation was likely part of a larger polyptych, or multi-paneled altarpiece, and would have been a central focus of devotional practices in a Christian context. The painting's intricate details and biblical narrative would have served to inspire deep contemplation and reflection among viewers. Today, The Flagellation by Luca di Tommè is a cherished masterpiece in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the Middle Ages and continues to captivate and inspire audiences with its powerful imagery and historical significance.
