Flagellation

Albrecht Dürer.
Passio Christi ab Alberto Durer Nurenbergensi effigiata cum varii generis carminibus Fratris Benedicti Chelidonii Musophili.
Nuremberg: Albrecht Dürer, 1511. (11012)

Dürer focuses in the next four prints on Pontius Pilate’s inability to rid himself of the controversy surrounding Christ. In The Flagellation, without looking the accused man in the eye, he orders his punishment by physical torture.
