The Scourging

"Christ after the Flagellation," by Diego Velazquez
Velazquez's Jesus is scourged, yet serene: The Spanish artist depicts the soul contemplating Christ -
Sr. Wendy Beckett's interpretation.

They actually stipped Him of his clothing after the scourging not prior but the painting is correct in that the crowning of thorns which would have had blood on Christ's face...that came after the scourging.
