Ecce Homo after 1639

Nicolaes de Bruyn's "Ecce Homo" (after 1639), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed etching depicting the biblical scene where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus Christ to the crowd, proclaiming "Behold the man" (Latin: ecce homo). This artwork, a classic example of Baroque art, captures the dramatic tension of the moment, showcasing the contrasting emotions of the crowd. The meticulous detail extends to the architectural background, adding a sense of realism and grandeur to the scene.
