Saint Secundinus, Bishop of Castulo during Roman times, was flogged until the bones of his back were visible. This work masterfully captures all elements of the scene. Secundinus, tied to a beam, is whipped by two executioners while his episcopal garments - miter, staff, and cope - lie on the ground. An angel appears from a burst of glory with the victorious crown and palm, both symbolizing the glory achieved by the new martyr.
