Source Description
With the words “Here is the man” (in Latin, “Ecce Homo”), Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea from 26 to 36 CE, presents Christ to the assembled crowd of Jews before his palace, represented by the architecture behind the three men. The moment is powerful because the crowd immediately demands that Christ be crucified. The figures are very expressive in their different responses to the moment, while the architecture is not thought through; possibly the latter was added by an assistant.This plaque has its own hanging loop, which appears to be original, so it was planned from the beginning as an independent devotional piece.
