1480
ink
From the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art
Ecce Homo is a 1480 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This engraving depicts a scene of Jesus Christ, surrounded by a group of people. He is shown standing in front of a doorway, wearing a crown of thorns and a cloth draped over his shoulders. The people around him appear to be soldiers and onlookers, with one man holding a spear and another gesturing towards Jesus. The scene is rendered in intricate detail, with fine lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of cross-hatching techniques adds shading and volume to the figures, creating a sense of realism. This engraving is a work by Schongauer, Martin.
Martin Schongauer, also known as Martin Schön or Hübsch Martin by his contemporaries, was an Alsatian engraver and painter.
