Ecco Homo 1692

"Ecco Homo" is an etching and engraving by Antoine Coypel, dating back to 1692. This artwork depicts a dramatic representation of Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns and bound, as he looks upwards. The meticulous detail in the engraving, particularly in the depiction of the crown of thorns and the rope binding Jesus's hands, enhances the emotional impact of the scene. The overall composition, with Jesus's gaze directed upwards, evokes a sense of suffering and sacrifice, conveying a powerful message of faith. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Coypel's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to portray religious themes with a striking sense of realism.
