It is often difficult to distinguish between these two, and between Christ at the Column and a Flagellation. This was most popular in Baroque sculpture, and also related to the subject, not found in the canonical Gospels, of Christ in the Dungeon. At the same time Christ at the Column or Christ at the Stake developed as an image of Christ alone tied to a column or stake. The most-discussed single work is the enigmatic treatment on a small panel in Urbino by Piero della Francesca (1455–60), whose precise meaning has eluded generations of art historians.

įrom the 15th century the subject is also painted in individual works, rather than as one of a series of Passion scenes. The Basilica di Santa Prassede in Rome claims to possess the original column. The column to which Christ is normally tied, and the rope, scourge, whip or birch are elements in the Arma Christi. It is the fourth station of the modern alternate Stations of the Cross, and a Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary. The Flagellation of Christ, sometimes known as Christ at the Column or the Scourging at the Pillar, is a scene from the Passion of Christ very frequently shown in Christian art, in cycles of the Passion or the larger subject of the Life of Christ. Stained glass from Dalhem Church, Sweden (ca 1240)
