Ecce Homo (print (visual work); print maker: Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn; 1655; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); RP-P-1975-1)

Note: Pilate showing Christ to the people, 'Ostentatio Christi', 'Ecce Homo' (John 19:4-6). With this large print Rembrandt demonstrated that he was the artistic heir of Lucas van Leyden, the greatest 16th-century Dutch graphic artist. He used the latter’s sizeable Ecce Homo as his model for an even larger print of the same subject. Pontius Pilate presents the captive Jesus to the people with the words ‘Ecce Homo’ ‘Behold the Man.’ Rembrandt derived the podium and several groups of figures from Van Leyden.

Additional Notes:

Dutch ..... Met deze grote prent liet Rembrandt zien hij de artistieke erfgenaam was van de belangrijkste 16de-eeuwse Nederlandse graficus, Lucas van Leyden. Hij gebruikte diens grote Ecce Homo als voorbeeld voor een nog grotere prent met hetzelfde onderwerp. Pontius Pilatus stelt de gevangen genomen Jezus voor aan het volk met de woorden ‘Ecce homo’, oftewel ‘Zie de mens’. Rembrandt nam het podium en enkele groepen publiek over van Van Leyden.
