École Européene (XX) - Ecce Homo

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- At that moment of awakening, the disarticulated body, the lost gaze, and the heaviness of the limbs reveal the human being in his most stripped-down, contingent state. He is no longer the hero, nor the productive citizen, nor the social mask we wear during the day; he is simply the flesh that suffers fatigue, the unprotected creature that emerges from the unconsciousness of sleep to face the weight of the world once more. Presenting this ordinary man, awake to the harsh light of the living room, is a way of saying “Ecce Homo” in the 21st century: a secular reminder of our inescapable weakness, our loneliness, and the moving dignity that resides in the simple act of getting to one’s feet another day.

- Image dimensions without frame: 30 x 32 cm / 46 x 48 cm with exclusive custom-made frame.

In Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and irreproducible. Each piece in our gallery results from deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by renowned artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the cornerstone of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning a one-of-a-kind piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value. We take pride in offering works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, without any replica, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export license granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and state of conservation. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to the satisfaction and trust of our clients, so any doubt about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To do this, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs displayed in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as changes in fuel costs or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping price will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the artwork by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided to you at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.
