CARAVAGGIO: Ecce Homo

🖼 Ecce Homo, c. 1606
Oil on canvas
128 × 103 cm

Harsh light rakes across Christ's battered face and bound form, rendered with unflinching realism against deep shadow. Caravaggio's radical compassion transforms the condemned prisoner into a mirror for viewer empathy, revolutionizing how religious suffering could be depicted.
