Ecce Homo

Anonymous, German, 17th century German

Not on view

This scene may have an as yet undiscovered engraved scene. Full of picturesque touches such as are met with in the work of Lucas van Leyden, the relief has a different spirit from the decorative reliefs on the frame, which are in the lobate style of the Utrecht goldsmith Paulus van Vianen and his followers. The arms of Pope Alexander VII at the bottom were added later. A letter in a seventeenth-century hand, affixed to the back, states that Alexander conferred an indulgence on the relief.
