This anonymous woodcut, titled *Ecce Homo* (c. 1480-1490), depicts the moment when Pontius Pilate presents Jesus Christ to the crowd, bound and crowned with thorns, saying "Behold the Man." The scene is rendered with a simple, direct style, characteristic of early prints, highlighting the dramatic moment with vivid colors. This work exemplifies the power of printmaking in disseminating religious imagery during the late Middle Ages.
