"Die Flagellanten" (The Flagellants) is a significant painting by the German-American artist Carl von Marr (1858–1936), created in 1889. This work is renowned for its intricate depiction of a procession of flagellants, individuals who, as a form of religious penance, would whip themselves to atone for their sins and the sins of society. The painting is a masterful representation of the flagellant movement, which gained prominence in Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly during times of widespread hardship or disease, as a means of seeking divine favor or forgiveness.

Carl von Marr, born in Milwaukee but who spent much of his career in Munich, Germany, was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century European art scene. His works are characterized by their detailed realism, emotional depth, and often, a fascination with historical and religious themes. "Die Flagellanten" stands out as one of Marr's most ambitious and critically acclaimed works, showcasing his skill in capturing the fervor and intensity of the flagellants' procession with a dramatic realism that was ahead of its time.

The painting is notable for its dynamic composition, the realism in the portrayal of the figures and their expressions of pain and ecstasy, and the use of light and shadow to enhance the dramatic impact of the scene. Marr's attention to detail, not only in the figures but also in the landscape and background elements, contributes to the painting's powerful emotional and visual impact.

"Die Flagellanten" has been interpreted as a commentary on religious fanaticism, human suffering, and the search for redemption. It reflects the broader cultural and historical interest in medieval practices and beliefs during the 19th century, a period that saw a resurgence of interest in the Middle Ages among artists, writers, and scholars.

Today, the painting is considered a masterpiece of late 19th-century art, exemplifying Carl von Marr's technical skill, historical insight, and profound ability to convey complex emotional and spiritual themes. It remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, religion, and history during this period, as well as for those interested in the broader cultural phenomena of penitential practices and their representation in art.
