EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving by W. Wirth takes us back to the medieval era, where a group of flagellants can be seen fervently praying for protection against the devastating plague. The image portrays an extreme form of mortification practiced by these devout individuals, who believed that whipping their own flesh would help ward off the illness. The horizontal composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this historical scene, as we witness the flagellants engaging in their religious ritual. Their faces are filled with both anguish and hope, reflecting the desperation felt during times of epidemic. The intricate illustration technique employed by Wirth brings every detail to life - from the expressions on each individual's face to the instruments used for self-flagellation. This engraved image serves as a powerful reminder of how religion played a significant role in people's lives during this period. As we observe this archival print, it is impossible not to reflect upon the intersection between medicine and faith throughout history. The flagellants' act of prayer demonstrates their belief in divine intervention as a means of combating illness. Overall, Nastasic's portrayal captures both the intensity and vulnerability present within religious events during medieval times. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our eternal quest for protection against adversity – whether through medical advancements or unwavering faith.
