Description

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.
