Ecce Homo 1860 - 1900

This etching by Eugène Gaujean depicts the biblical scene of "Ecce Homo," where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the crowd. The artwork, created between 1860 and 1900, captures the dramatic moment, highlighting the figures of Jesus and Pilate through precise lines and tonal variations. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling crowd and a partially visible city, suggesting the tension and public spectacle of the event. This powerful image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Gaujean's skill in etching and his interest in biblical narratives.
