ECCE HOMO

(ek’sé; Lat., ‘ Behold the man!’), a name often given to crucifixes and pictures which represent Christ bound and crowned with thorns. The most celebrated of these paintings are by Sodoma, Correggio (in the National Gallery), Titian, Tin to ret to, Guido Reni, and Murillo. The expre ion is derived from the words spoken by Pilate when he showed Christ to the multitude before he was led forth to Crucifixion (John xix, 5).
