Here you go:
this is the flogging scene from the ancient "good friday"-children book, illustrated by Angus McBride.
I like especially, that the result of the flogging is not as overdone as in the Gibson-movie.
The different conditions of the skin, from "just" bruised to "ripped open" and bloody, illustrate the agony as well as the cramped fingers and the slowly blood-stained loincloth of the Jesus-figure.
The attention to details is once again very good, like the drops of blood on the skin splashed by the force of the strokes or the wood of the pole being almost as ruined as the body of the victim. The torturer is pulling Jesus by his hair, maybe to bring him back to his feet again or to inflict addition pain.
and here the overview of "Golgatha" - Jesus was obviously the first to be crucified, the "thieves" have been stripped as well and the right one has already been nailed to the crossbeam and is just being raised upon the pole, screaming in agony, while the left one is just being nailed down.
I like that the "thieves" are being crucified in the same manner as Jesus. Good view for details is here again, like the discarded clothing and sandals, the soldiers holding the left prisoners legs to prevent him from kicking while getting nailed down.
Finally I admire the depiction of the Roman soldiers as clean shaven buzz-cut brutal hunks caring not one inch about their victims while doing their everydays-soldiers-work with torture and crucifixion.
Sorry for the partially bad quality, but the book was, as metioned, rather old, parts got lost in different movings and these pics have been...eh.. "used" frequently ;-)
best regards
