Masters/Antonio Ciseri/Ecce Homo (Behold the Man)
Scroll or pinch to zoom · drag to look around
We stand behind Pilate on his balcony, looking out over the crowd. Jesus stands with His back to us, bound, in a red robe. Pilate, in white, sweeps his arm toward Him: “Behold the man!”
The Uffizi points out that no one shows their face except Pilate’s wife and her servant, at the right, and that she seems to whisper her conviction that Christ is innocent. Ciseri worked on this painting for almost twenty years.
