"Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man) is a 17th-century print by Galgano Cipriani. The artwork depicts a close-up of Jesus Christ's head crowned with thorns, highlighting his suffering and humanity. This powerful image is a common subject in Christian art, representing the moment when Jesus is presented to the crowd before his crucifixion. The print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is a poignant reminder of the central figure in Christian faith.
