Ecce Homo 1549

"Ecce Homo," a 1549 woodcut by Augustin Hirschvogel, depicts the biblical scene of Pontius Pilate presenting Jesus to the crowd. In the print, Jesus is shown in the center, being presented by Pilate, while the crowd gestures in a variety of postures, reacting to the moment. This work exemplifies Hirschvogel’s skill in capturing the drama and emotion of a religious scene in a detailed and highly realistic manner, demonstrating his mastery of the graphic arts.
