'Ecce Homo' Christ seated, crowned, his wounds showing 1750 - 1765

This anonymous 18th-century print titled “Ecce Homo” depicts a seated Christ, crowned with thorns, his wounds visible. The work is executed in an engraving style, with detailed cross-hatching to create shading and volume. The Latin phrase “Ecce Homo,” meaning “Behold the Man,” was famously uttered by Pontius Pilate as he presented Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. The graphic representation of Christ’s suffering, particularly the visible wounds, emphasizes the theme of sacrifice. This print, created during the Baroque period, showcases the style’s preference for dramatic scenes with strong emotional impact.
