THE FLAGELLATION OF CHRIST - The Embden Collection
Italy, 17th century. After a model by Alessandro Algardi (1598-1654).
The three removable figures are carved in the round from fruit wood. In the center, Christ at a stake in the form of a fluted column with a Corinthian capital, flanked by two tormentors. Probably later addition of an architecturally structured pedestal made of stained walnut and parcel-gilt. On the front are three cartouches painted in gold on a dark background, the middle one with a coat of arms (partly incomplete).
