The Flagellation by Luca Signorelli is a notable religious painting created around 1475, during his first stay in Marche. This Early renaissance work is a double-sided tempera on panel piece signed "LUCE CORTONENSIS." Its stylistic similarities to Piero della Francesca suggest the use of Wood as a painting surface. The painting's vivid details and composition reflect the emerging techniques of the period, showcasing Signorelli’s developing mastery before his later works.
