Description: | The Christ in this small copper panel is dressed as the mock king with his crown of thorns, his robe clasped with a jewelled brooch, and his reed sceptre. Unlike the more theatrical Ecce Homo scenes by Correggio or Reni, here we see an introverted Christ, his gaze downwards, expressing the humiliating circumstances of the moment in which Pilate presents him to the people. The colouring of Christ's face and the dramatic light behind the crown of thorns, are quite unlike Correggio's softer approach and seem stylistically closer to 16th century Spanish painting. | Subjects: | religion (Christ); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Correggio (Italian painter, ca. 1489-1534) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8782... | Go to resource |
