"Ostentatio Christi: Revealing the Suffering and Majesty of Christ in Art" In the realm of religious art, few subjects have captivated artists and viewers alike as much as the "Ostentatio Christi, " a series depicting pivotal moments from the Passion of Christ. From his trial to tortures, crowning with thorns to flagellation, these artworks offer a profound glimpse into the immense suffering endured by Jesus. One such masterpiece is "Christ Presented to the People (Ecce Homo)" by Anonymous and Hendrick Goltzius. This painting portrays Pilate presenting Christ before an agitated crowd, emphasizing both his vulnerability and divine presence. The title itself, Ecce Homo or Behold the Man, invites contemplation on humanity's role in this pivotal moment. Another notable rendition is "Ecce Homo" by Jan-Baptist Barbe and Adriaen Collaert.

These prints invite us to reflect upon our own actions in light of His sacrifice. Lastly, Jan Luyken and Pieter Mortier collaborated on their print named "Christ Presented to the People (Ecce Homo).
