Despite the panel’s size (only 58.4 cm × 81.5 cm), the painting has been a mainstay in the last century in discussions of 15th century painting. An early example of the use of oil paint - though Piero used both tempera and oil in its execution - the work depicts the moment in Christ’s Passion when he was whipped before Pontius Pilate. This artwork is located in the Palazzo Ducale of Urbino, Italy.
