"The Judgment of Cambyses" (right panel) is a significant work of art created by the Early Netherlandish painter Gerard David in 1498. This painting is part of a diptych, with the left panel depicting the arrest of the corrupt judge Sisamnes and the right panel illustrating his gruesome punishment. The right panel specifically captures the moment of Sisamnes' flaying, a scene that is both striking and harrowing in its detail and execution.

Gerard David, known for his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, employs these skills to full effect in this panel. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye to the central act of punishment, with the figures arranged in a manner that emphasizes the gravity and solemnity of the scene. The expressions of the onlookers and the meticulous rendering of Sisamnes' suffering contribute to the overall impact of the painting, making it a powerful visual narrative of justice and retribution.

The story depicted in "The Judgment of Cambyses" is derived from Herodotus' Histories, where the Persian king Cambyses II orders the execution of the corrupt judge Sisamnes by flaying him alive. This act of extreme justice was intended to serve as a stark warning against corruption and to ensure the integrity of the judiciary. David's interpretation of this historical event is notable for its dramatic intensity and the moral message it conveys.

The painting is also a remarkable example of the Northern Renaissance's interest in detailed realism and moralistic themes. The intricate textures of the fabrics, the lifelike portrayal of human anatomy, and the careful attention to the architectural elements all reflect David's mastery and the broader artistic trends of his time. Today, "The Judgment of Cambyses" (right panel) is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
