DÜRER, Albrecht: Ecce Homo (No. 8)

🖼 Ecce Homo (No. 8), 1512
Engraving
117 × 75 cm
Princeton, USA

Rendered in precise woodcut technique, Pilate presents the tortured Christ to a hostile crowd, their faces etched with cruelty and indifference. Dürer's masterwork defines Northern Renaissance printmaking, democratizing religious imagery through mass-produced engravings that reached common people across Europe.
