Ecce Homo 1940

Karl Schrag's 1940 print "Ecce Homo" depicts a scene inspired by the biblical narrative. The artwork shows a young man, possibly Christ, standing before a crowd in a prison-like setting. The crowd's faces are obscured, focusing on the solitary figure. Schrag's use of strong lines and stark contrasts, characteristic of his style, creates a sense of foreboding and isolation. The work is an expressive interpretation of a timeless subject, exploring themes of faith and human suffering.
