"The Flagellants" is a notable painting by the German-American artist Carl von Marr (1858–1936), created in 1889. This work is considered one of Marr's masterpieces and is a prime example of his skill in historical and genre painting. The painting depicts a procession of flagellants, individuals who practiced self-flagellation as a form of religious penance during the Middle Ages. This practice was particularly prevalent during times of crisis, such as the Black Death, as a means of atoning for sins and seeking divine favor.

Von Marr's representation of the flagellants is both dramatic and evocative, capturing the fervor and intensity of the penitents' ritual. The composition is marked by a strong use of chiaroscuro, with the play of light and shadow enhancing the emotional impact of the scene. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from the expressions of anguish and devotion on their faces to the textures of their garments and the instruments of their self-inflicted pain.

"The Flagellants" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural relevance. It offers a window into the religious practices and societal conditions of the past, reflecting the artist's interest in the human condition and the extremes of religious expression. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection and has been the subject of scholarly analysis for its thematic and technical aspects.

Carl von Marr's legacy as an influential figure in the Munich School of painting is underscored by works such as "The Flagellants," which continue to captivate audiences with their powerful imagery and historical resonance. The painting remains an important part of von Marr's oeuvre and a testament to his prowess as a painter of historical narratives.
