Flagellation of Christ
Piero della Francesca Β· 1459
Why it's great
Christ is whipped in a calm, tidy room on the left, while three men stand and talk in a street on the right. Piero della Francesca painted this puzzle in about 1459, and no one is sure who the three men are.

P
Piero della Francesca was an Italian painter and mathematician, born in about 1415 in Sansepolcro. His calm, still pictures use geometry and clear light, with smooth, solid figures. He died in 1492.
