The Flagellation

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing showing figures inside a stone structure. The scene includes a group of figures in motion within a large arched stone building or chamber. The structure has a cylindrical shape with a wide archway leading into the scene. The figures are shown engaged in various actions, such as extending limbs or holding objects resembling scythes. An intense aura surrounds the central figure. The drawing is detailed with cross-hatched lines, creating depth and texture. The dynamic poses suggest a sense of urgency and drama within the setting.
