Christ Shown to the People (Ecce Homo) — History & Facts
By the glow of a torch, Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to a crowd we cannot see, the crowd that will decide his fate. In Christ Shown to the People (Ecce Homo), Titian sets Christ's near-nakedness and bound hands against Pilate's fur-lined cloak and the jewelry of the young page beside them, to underline his humiliation. The painting is oil on canvas, 109.2 × 94.8 cm, and dates from about 1570–1576, the last years of Titian's long career in Venice. The paint in the upper left is only sketched in, and scholars conclude that the picture was left unfinished when he died. It is in the Saint Louis Art Museum in St.
Louis, Missouri.
