"Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man) is a 1512 engraving by Albrecht Durer, part of his "The Passion" series. This print depicts the moment when Pontius Pilate presents Jesus, crowned with thorns, to the crowd. Durer's detailed rendering of the figures, their expressions, and the surrounding architecture creates a sense of drama and realism. The image highlights the contrast between Jesus's suffering and the indifference of the onlookers, a powerful depiction of the events leading up to the crucifixion. The artwork is a testament to Durer's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual imagery.
