1509
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Round Passion: Ecce Homo is a 1509 by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, depicting Beheaded Head, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This small print shows Jesus bound and mocked by soldiers. Thorns dig into his forehead. Blood dots his white skin in tiny, sharp points. Lucas van Leyden carved this at age 15. The scene feels close and raw, like you’re right there. Tiny details pop out: a soldier’s stubble, the rust on the metal staff. It lives at The Cleveland Museum of Art. See it next to works by Lucas’s teacher, Cornelis Engelbrechtsen.
Lucas van Leyden (1494 – 8 August 1533), was a Dutch painter and printmaker in engraving and woodcut. Lucas van Leyden was among the first Dutch exponents of genre painting and was a very accomplished engraver.
