Ecce Homo or Pontius Pilate Presenting Christ to the Crowd is a 1546 oil by Jacopo Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, depicting Ecce Homo, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in white robes, with a halo, being presented to a crowd by another man. The crowd looks on, some with concern, others with anger. The scene is set on a series of white stairs, with a dark background. The man in white robes is Jesus Christ, and the scene is known as Ecce Homo. The artist, Jacopo Tintoretto, uses chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and emotion in the scene.
