This anonymous 1522 woodcut print depicts the biblical scene of "Ecce Homo," a scene where Jesus is presented to the crowd by Pontius Pilate, often interpreted as "Behold the man." The scene shows a group of figures gathered in an arched hallway, with Jesus standing in the center, wearing a crown of thorns and a robe. The print is rendered in intricate detail, emphasizing the dramatic tension between the figures and the starkness of the architectural setting. It's an excellent example of early Renaissance art, known for its focus on realism and religious themes. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
