École Européene (XX) - Ecce Homo

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- At that moment of waking, the disarticulated body, the lost gaze, and the heaviness of the limbs reveal the human being in their most exposed and contingent state. No longer the hero, nor the productive citizen, nor the social mask we wear during the day; it is simply the flesh suffering fatigue, the abandoned creature emerging from the dream’s unconsciousness 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 ineluctable weakness, of our solitude, and of the moving dignity that resides in the simple act of rising to one more 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 is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—qualities 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 foundation of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer 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 leaving our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas whatsoever, 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 permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the artwork’s authenticity and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each 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 confirms that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as the author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

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

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specializing in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the entire process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices listed in the ad are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in the transportation 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 to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adjusting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork arrives quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the preceding images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no extra cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be exhibited immediately on the wall. Accordingly, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be considered valid grounds for a claim or cancellation.
