EDITORS COMMENTS
an enigmatic and poignant pen and brown ink drawing with brown wash on laid paper, dates back to the 17th century. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it is believed to be the work of Flemish artist Hendrik de Clerck or one of his followers. This hauntingly beautiful artwork depicts the biblical scene of Christ at the Column, also known as the Scourging at the Pillar, from the New Testament. In this powerful and evocative image, Christ, wearing a simple loincloth, is shown being whipped by several men. His body, contorted in agony, is a testament to the physical and emotional suffering he endured for the sins of humanity. The figures surrounding Christ are depicted with an almost theatrical intensity, their faces etched with expressions of anger, determination, and sorrow. The use of brown ink and brown wash imbues the drawing with a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall sense of authenticity and historical significance. The figures are rendered with remarkable detail and precision, each line and brushstroke conveying a sense of movement and emotion. This exquisite drawing is a rare and valuable example of Flemish art from the 17th century, and a testament to the enduring power of religious art to move and inspire. It is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and intrigue visitors from around the world. The Flagellation of Christ is a powerful reminder of the Passion of Christ, a pivotal moment in the New Testament and the foundation of the Christian faith. It is a work of art that transcends time and culture, speaking to the human experience in a language that is universal and timeless.
