A Procession of Flagellants | Francisco Goya | 1814-16
About the artwork:
A Procession of Flagellants by Francisco de Goya is an oil-on-panel painting created between 1814 and 1816 and is currently held at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. The work depicts a somber Catholic procession where men dressed in white with pointed hoods whip their exposed backs until they bleed as an act of penitence, pulling large religious statues and surrounded by other devotees and ritual banners. Goya places the illuminated, individualized figures of the flagellants against a dim background and uses light and contrast to emphasize the cruelty and ritual fervor of the scene. This painting is part of a series that also includes works like The Inquisition Tribunal and The Madhouse, which critique irrational customs in early-19th-century Spanish society and reflect the artist’s liberal viewpoints during a period of political tension under Ferdinand VII.
