Ecce Homo is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a crowd of people around a man with a crown of thorns. Some hold spears or crosses, while others point or look down. The scene is dark, with rough lines and no smooth colors—just black and white. The man on the steps looks tired, with his arms raised. The people above him seem angry or mocking. This style was made by scratching into metal plates, not painting. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
