The Flagellation of Christ (Ribera)

The Flagellation of Christ (known until the 1970s as Ecce Homo) is a c.1618 oil on canvas painting by Jusepe de Ribera, from the start of his stay in Naples. A smaller autograph copy without the accompanying figure on the right is now in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin.[1]

In 1622 tailor and art collector left it and the rest of his collection to the Girolamini, Naples, where it still hangs.[2] It is next mentioned in 1692 by Carlo Celano as being in the church's sacristy - he also gave it its erroneous title of Ecce Homo.[3]
