Ecce Homo 1905

"Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man), a 1905 lithograph by Albert Hahn, is a satirical depiction of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. Hahn places the Kaiser in a carriage, with the crucified Christ superimposed behind him, suggesting the Kaiser's self-importance and perceived arrogance. This work of art is a powerful example of the political satire of the early 20th century, and it reflects the growing tensions in Europe leading up to World War I.
