Ecce Homo 

This Baroque painting by Guido Reni depicts Jesus Christ crowned with thorns, a moment of intense suffering before his crucifixion. The title "Ecce Homo", meaning "Behold the Man," is a direct reference to the biblical narrative where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the crowd. Reni's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and emotionally charged scene, capturing the physical and spiritual anguish of Christ. The painting is a powerful reminder of the human cost of faith and the enduring power of Christian iconography.
