Ecce Homo, also known as Christ Presented to the People, is an oil painting by Antonio da Correggio.

They brought him to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, accusing him of "perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

"[5][6] The Latin form of Pilate's words, "Behold the man", has given the title Ecce Homo to this picture.

It is the moment when Jesus comes forth from the rude mockery of the soldiers, clad in a royal robe, and wearing the crown of thorns.

At the sight of her son, treated as a criminal with bound hands, the mother, Mary, falls swooning over the balustrade, supported by a younger woman.

The rich mantle, which the soldiers have mockingly thrown over his shoulders, falls away and shows the body as it had been bared for the scourging.

Hurll writes, "It is a beautiful form, perfectly developed, and the arms and hands are as delicately modelled as a woman's.

"[7] The face is oval, with regular features of classic mould, a short parted beard, and long hair falling in disordered curls about it.

"[9]It is generally believed that the original Ecce Homo, of which there are several old copies,[a] is the picture now in the National Gallery of London.

[10] The picture belonged successively to the Conte Prati of Parma, the Colonna family at Rome, Sir Simon Clarke, Murat, and the Marquis of Londonderry.
