Attributed to the Dutch printmaker Doen Pietersz., the work originates from the early sixteenth century, a period when small-scale devotional prints were produced for personal meditation. The composition follows traditional iconographic conventions, showing Christ bound to a central column while being struck by an executioner. To the right, a figure in a turban observes the scene, providing a narrative frame common in religious art of the Northern Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print exhibits the characteristic aesthetic of early woodblock production. The lines are bold and functional, designed to define form clearly within a compact space. The application of colour is relatively simple, using primary and secondary tones to distinguish the figures from the architectural background. The executioner is positioned with dynamic energy, his posture conveying the violence of the act, while the figure of Christ remains static and resigned. The inclusion of the artist's monogram, DP, at the base of the column confirms the attribution to Pietersz., who was active in Amsterdam during the first half of the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch prints were often bound into prayer books or sold as loose sheets for the laity. They provided a visual aid for the contemplation of the Passion. The physical condition of the print, showing signs of age and handling, suggests its original function as a devotional object. The stark contrast between the figures and the simplified interior space focuses the viewer's attention on the central narrative. This piece offers a clear example of the graphic style prevalent in Dutch printmaking before the influence of later Mannerist trends. It remains a representative specimen of the technical and thematic concerns of the period, demonstrating the role of the woodcut in disseminating religious imagery to a wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/nadab-and-abihu-consumed-by-fire-veit-rudolf-specklin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNadab and Abihu Consumed by Fire - Veit Rudolf Specklin — Veit Rudolf Specklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/young-man-and-two-girls-master-of-the-amsterdam-cabinet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eYoung Man and Two Girls - Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet — Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doen Pietersz.","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596972659023,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596986028367,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596986061135,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596986093903,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596986126671,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596986159439,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596986192207,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596986224975,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596986257743,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596986290511,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596986323279,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596986356047,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Geseling-The-Flagellation-of-Christ-_Poster_CompositorV1_1787985724963.jpg?v=1787986139","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/geseling-the-flagellation-of-christ-doen-pietersz","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
