| Description |  |
"Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man) were Pilate's words to the people when he presented Christ to them before the Crucifixion (John 19: 2-5). The viewer is put in the position of the crowd, to whom Christ was presented. Pontius Pilate, back left, points to Christ, while a guard on the right looks at him compassionately. The Virgin swoons. Her inclusion in the scene is unusual as she is not mentioned as present in the Gospels. This devotional panel was probably made for a member of the Prati family of Parma.
This is an old copy of the original "Ecce Homo" by Correggio, also in the Collection.
