La Flagellazione

c. 1480

Martin Schongauer, a master of the Northern Renaissance, created this intense engraving around 1480, showing Christ bound to a column and surrounded by tormentors. The level of detail in the clothing and the grotesque faces of the soldiers is astonishing for a print made with just a metal burin. Fun fact: Schongauer was so influential that a young Michelangelo actually copied his engravings to learn how to draw! You can spot the artist's famous 'M+S' monogram at the very bottom, a signature that became a brand of quality in the 15th century.
