Ecce homo (John 19, 5, lit. «Behold the man») is the phrase that according to the Vulgate Pontius Pilate, then Roman governor of Judea, pronounced while showing the flagellated Jesus to the crowd. Context According to what the Gospels tell, Jesus, at the time of his arrest, was deemed innocent by the Governor. To calm down the plebs who wanted to see Jesus executed anyway, he finally had him flagellated, thinking in this way to satisfy the public's thirst for blood. After the flagellation, Pilate showed the crowd Christ covered in sores and bleeding wounds, with a crown of thorns on his head, a king's purple cloak on his shoulders and a cane scepter in his hands and pronounced the phrase "Ecce homo" as if to say "Look at the man, do you see that I punished him?". However, this was not considered sufficient, and the high priests pressured to have the prisoner crucified. This phrase also indicates by extension the passion of Jesus as a reference to a battered, emaciated person, disfigured by pain (of whom it is said "he looks like an ecce homo" or "he is reduced like an ecce homo"). Work framed by a splendid golden frame from the first half of the 20th century. (As a gift) Painting attributable to an Italian artist of the time.
