Bilder Adriaen Collaert (1560–1618) – Ecce Homo – Engraving (16th Century)

Beskrivning

This biblical illustration depicts the scene of Ecce Homo, where Jesus is presented to the crowd by Pontius Pilate. The composition features Jesus standing at the center, bound and wearing a crown of thorns, flanked by Roman soldiers and religious officials. Pilate is shown to the right, gesturing toward Jesus as he addresses the vocal assembly gathered below the balcony. The scene is set within a grand architectural complex, with vaulted arches and distant classical structures that exemplify the technical mastery of Flemish engraving during the late Renaissance.

Adriaen Collaert was a prominent Flemish engraver and print publisher active in Antwerp during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was a central figure in the Collaert family of artists and worked extensively with major publishers like Hieronymus Cock and the Plantin Press. His body of work is characterized by its technical precision and encompasses a wide range of subjects, including religious cycles, allegories, and natural history. Collaert played a vital role in the dissemination of Northern Mannerist and early Baroque styles throughout Europe through the mass production of high-quality prints.
