Escuela española (XVIII) - Ecce Homo
Oil on canvas, "Ecce Homo" XVIII Century.
Spanish or Italian school.
This figure has, above all, a heartfelt and intense disposition thanks in part to the Holy Blood seen dripping on the face and chest of Christ, expressing the pain suffered by Jesus Christ and arousing succesfully a distressed emotion on the viewer.
The painting embodies the passage of the Passion in which Christ is presented to the People as a mocking king: crown of thorns, reed as a scepter and rope around his neck to pull him on the ascent to Mount Calvary for his crucifixion.
This moment represents, perhaps like no other, the accumulation of insults to Christ as "man of sorrows", after the sweat of blood in the olive grove, the slaps, the spits of the sayones or the lashes in the column.
Jesus Christ has his gaze raised to the sky as if asking for mercy and not dejected, as it is usual in this type of representation.
This powerful painting was probably the object of much devotion, in some temple or hermitage, by a devotional clientele who came to this image in aid of their spiritual and material needs.
Frame is recent.
Condition

Professionally packed and shipped with upmost care. This increases the shipping cost slightly but it reassures that it arrives without damages.
