Man met bord met daarop 'Ecce Homo' 1898

"Man met bord met daarop 'Ecce Homo'" is a woodcut print created by the English artist William Nicholson in 1898. The print, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, portrays a man in a long coat and hat standing on a city street, holding a sign that reads “Ecce Homo,” Latin for “Behold the Man.” This simple composition, executed in a bold black and white style, reflects Nicholson’s interest in the graphic and illustrative qualities of woodcut printing. This artwork, depicting a figure with a sign, is a powerful social commentary on the lives of ordinary people during Nicholson’s time.
