From the Art Institute of Chicago record

Michael Wolgemut (teacher of Albrecht Dürer, whose work can be seen nearby) produced this woodcut as part of a book about the life of Jesus. In the 15th century, illustrations in printed books were enlivened by the addition of hand-coloring in watercolor. The colorist of Wolgemut’s gruesome depiction of the flagellation emphasized Jesus’s suffering by adding streams of blood running down his body, a detail absent in the woodblock.
