This is a close-up, detailed bronze relief sculpture located on the Doors of the Duomo in Milan, Italy. The sculpture depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ, specifically the Flagellation of Christ. In the foreground, a man, presumably Jesus, is bound to a column on the left. He is depicted as lean and muscular, with long hair and a loincloth. His skin has a reddish-brown patina, possibly from a different casting process or applied finish. His body is turned to his right, and his gaze is directed forward. To the right, another man, a flagellator, is actively whipping Jesus. This figure is also muscular, wearing a draped garment, and his arm is raised, holding a scourge. His face is contorted in exertion. He appears to be leaning forward and pushing Jesus against the column. A third figure is visible in the background, kneeling and appearing to be holding Jesus's head or aiding in his restraint. This figure is largely obscured by the flagellator. The background of the relief is highly detailed, featuring architectural elements such as fluted columns, decorative friezes, and draped fabric, suggesting a formal setting. The overall composition conveys a sense of violence and suffering. The bronze material shows a patina consistent with age and exposure. in Milan, Italy
