Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of three men. A shirtless man in the center of the image is tied by his waist to a column with ropes. His body faces right and slightly forward. He has a neutral expression on his face and looks down. The man on the left is shirtless and wearing pants. He holds his right arm up with a whip. He looks down at the center man. The man on the right wears a cloth around his waist and a shirt. He holds his right arm up with a whip. He looks toward the man in the center. A crumpled piece of clothing sits on the ground in the bottom center of the image. The background appears to be an interior room with stone walls and columns. The mood appears to be intense. The image is titled "The Flagellation" by Albrecht Dürer.
