Ecce Homo 1625 - 1670

"Ecce Homo", meaning "Behold the Man," is an etching by Dutch artist Mattheus Borrekens. Created between 1625 and 1670, the artwork depicts Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns, standing with his hands bound together. His posture reflects both suffering and divine power. Borrekens, known for his detailed engravings, uses subtle shading to create a sense of depth and realism. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of Baroque art, embodying the period's emphasis on drama and emotional intensity.
