1642
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ecce Homo is a 1642 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of robed figures gathered around a man with a crown of thorns. He stands in an arched frame, looking down, while others reach toward him or hold staffs. The background is a rough stone wall, and the figures have long, flowing clothes with detailed folds. The man in the center is often linked to a religious story about Jesus. The artist used sharp lines to create texture in the clothing and stone. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Hollar made prints with acid and needles.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
