Christus aan het volk getoond (Ecce Homo) 1586 - 1650

This 17th century engraving by Cornelis Galle I depicts the biblical scene of *Ecce Homo*, or "Behold the Man". Christ is shown with a crown of thorns and his hands bound, surrounded by figures representing the Roman soldiers and a figure possibly symbolizing Pontius Pilate. The inscription in Latin quotes from the Song of Songs, comparing Christ to King Solomon, highlighting his suffering and sacrifice. This print is a powerful example of religious imagery and a testament to Galle's skill as an engraver.
