Flagellation of Christ

Albrecht Altdorfer painted this Flagellation of Christ around 1518 as part of the Saint Florian Altarpiece Passion cycle. Each panel in the series demonstrates Altdorfer's ability to transform conventional Passion subjects through his revolutionary approach to light, space, and atmosphere Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship The work is now in the collection of St. Florian Monastery.

The panel shows Altdorfer's dramatic handling with expressive lighting, atmospheric color, and the dynamic spatial construction that makes the Saint Florian cycle one of the most innovative Passion series in European art.
