Ecce Homo

Ecce Homo is a painting by the Flemish painter Jan Cossiers, signed with initials and dated around 1620, which is in the Louvre Museum.

Although after his trip to Italy in 1624 the author was influenced by Caravaggio,[1] in this case, the total absence of Caravaggesque features in the painting, as well as the support, indicate that it is a work prior to that trip and independent also of the line marked by Rubens in Antwerp. [2] This is one of the most generously depicted episodes in the Art on the Passion, the presentation of Jesus of Nazareth to the people of Jerusalem by Pilate. [3] The theme, called Ecce Homo because it is the words that, according to the biblical version The Vulgate mentioned by the Roman governor, has paintings by Titian, Bosch, or Caravaggio himself.

Jesus is shown by Pilate, who is on his back richly dressed, after being scourged, crowned by thorns and beaten with a reed that later serves as a mocking scepter.
