Caravaggio’s painting Ecce Homo depicts a scene taken from the New Testament. This painting combines the crowning of Christ’s head with thorns, and the mocking of Christ, with Pontius Pilate displaying Christ to the crowds, shouting Ecce Homo, or “behold the man.” The characters are painted in a mature and characteristic Roman period style. The forms are close-up, and he uses dramatic light to emphasize the Christ figure. There is a lack of depth and background, and the dark colors are evidence of the Baroque art movement of which Caravaggio was instrumental in developing.
There is signature psychological realism, characteristic of Caravaggio, in the torturer’s face, which seems to convey pity and sadism equally.

Thanks to the generosity of its new owner, the Ecce Homo by Caravaggio will be on display at the Museo Nacional del Prado from 28 May 2024 until 23 February 2025.
Painted by the great Italian artist around 1605-09 and believed to have once been part of the private collection of Phillip IV of Spain, the painting is one of around only 60 known works by Caravaggio in existence, and thus one of the most valuable old master artworks in the world. This painting enriches the permanent collection of the Museo Nacional del Prado, which holds one of the few works by the master in a Spanish collection, David and Goliath, a painting that has recovered its colours and original contrasts after its restoration.
Since the Prado Museum alerted Spain’s Ministry of Culture of the relevance of the painting when it reemerged at Ansorena auction house in April 2021 attributed to a pupil of José de Ribera, the work has been under the custodianship of Colnaghi, in collaboration with Filippo Benappi (Benappi Fine Art) and Andrea Lullo (Lullo Pampoulides). The painting was restored by specialist Andrea Cipriani and his team under the supervision of experts from the Comunidad de Madrid regional government. The results of this intricate process are featured in a comprehensive publication alongside
