Flagellation of Christ

Date: 1880

The painting depicts a scene of a white man being tortured and chained to a tall pillar. He is surrounded by a group of people of different ages and genders who are attacking him or watching the scene. The man's eyes are closed, he appears to be suffering, and he is unclothed except for a white cloth around his waist. Those around him have different attitudes - some are aggressive while others are disgusted or concerned. The atmosphere of the painting is tense and dramatic.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). French academic painter. In his choice of topics, he was a traditionalist: he painted mythological scenes and modern interpretations of Classicist themes (with an emphasis on painting the female body). Bouguereau admired Raphael, and even gave him one of his paintings. In his time, he was considered one of the finest painters, even abroad. At the end of his career, his paintings began to seem too traditionalist, with techniques embedded in the past. In some encyclopaedias, his name even ceased to appear. To date, however, we can consider some of his works beautiful and inspiring.
