EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a historical moment of religious fervor and collective hysteria in medieval Belgium. The image depicts a procession of flagellants at Doornik (now Tournai), showcasing the intense penance and devotion of these individuals.
The Flagellants of Tournai were part of a popular religious movement that emerged in 1349, marked by public displays of self-flagellation as a form of repentance and purification. This kind of activity was not uncommon during the Middle Ages, with similar processions occurring throughout Europe as acts of collective piety.
The scene captured in this photograph is a powerful reminder of the deep-rooted connection between religion and history, highlighting the extreme lengths to which some would go in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The flagellants' actions may seem extreme to modern eyes, but they were seen as necessary for achieving salvation during this period.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important moment in time through their collection, allowing us to glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs that shaped medieval society. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of faith and devotion that continues to resonate with audiences today.
