Spanish school, first half of the seventeenth century. "Ecce Homo. Oil on pine board. Presents faults and restorations. Measurements: 52 x 29,5 x 3 cm. In this painting of baroque school, the biblical episode of the Ecce Homo is developed with great descriptive eagerness and compositional dynamism. The figure of Christ with the crown of thorns, handcuffed and resigned to his fate, is flanked by Pilate (whom we see embarrassed and ashamed of his own cowardice) and two Roman soldiers. At street level, a group of apostles clamor for his release and the guards stifle their advance. Attention should be drawn to the contrast between the noble features of the followers of Jesus and the henchmen of the law. The painter expresses the drama of the event through the gesticulations and the characterization of the faces. Likewise, he extracts the just brilliance of the helmets and the silky qualities of the garments. The chiaroscuro models the anatomy and the garments, enhancing their colors. This panel dates from the Golden Age of Spanish painting.

Estim. 700 - 800 EUR

Spanish or Italian school; XVII century. "Ecce homo". Polychrome alabaster. It presents faults and restorations. Measurements: 15 x 11 x 8 cm. Sculpture carved in alabaster representing the Ecce Homo, who waits for the imminent crucifixion on the top of Golgotha, while he is mocked by the Roman soldiers. He is depicted wearing a crown of thorns and stripped of his garments, with his hands in a bound position and perfectly crossed, alluding to his fate on the Cross. Blood drips from his forehead and Christ expresses a state of deep sorrow, which is echoed by the expression of contained sadness on his face. The words "Ecce Homo" are those pronounced by Pilate when presenting Christ before the crowd; their translation is "behold the man", a phrase by which he mocks Jesus and implies that Christ's power was not such as that of the leaders who were judging him there. It presents faults and restorations.
