This is a painting of a scene with a suffering man surrounded by five angels. The man is kneeling in the center of the painting, facing the left, with thin, dark red wounds visible on the pale skin of his back and arms. He is nude except for a white cloth tied around his waist, and he reaches towards a black robe or cloth on the ground. On the floor in front of him are a discarded whip and bundle of thorny twigs. In a semi-circle around him, the angels display different poses of lament and compassion. They have light skin and are dressed in green, red, pink, teal, and gold garments, with wide, feathered wings stretching behind them. The floor appears to be checkered in shades of light red, and the background is dark, with one white, square column visible to the left of center. — Juan Correa, Christ Gathering His Garments after the Flagellation, c. 1670s, oil on canvas, Patrons' Permanent Fund and Gift of Funds from Gerald Spears and Mary Mochary, 2024.4.1
