Ecce Homo is a notable engraving created by the Dutch artist Cornelis Cort in the late 16th century. Cornelis Cort, born in 1533 in Hoorn, was a prominent engraver and draughtsman who played a significant role in the dissemination of Renaissance art throughout Northern Europe. He is particularly known for his engravings after the works of major Italian painters, including Titian and Federico Barocci, which helped to spread their influence beyond Italy.

The term "Ecce Homo" translates from Latin to "Behold the Man," a phrase attributed to Pontius Pilate in the Christian New Testament when he presents a scourged Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns, to the hostile crowd shortly before his crucifixion. This moment has been a poignant subject in Christian art, symbolizing the suffering and humanity of Christ.

Cort's rendition of Ecce Homo is distinguished by its meticulous detail and emotional intensity. The engraving captures the dramatic moment with a powerful sense of realism and pathos, characteristic of the Mannerist style that influenced much of Cort's work. The composition typically features Christ at the center, bound and crowned with thorns, with Pilate presenting him to the crowd. The expressions of the figures are rendered with great care, conveying a range of emotions from sorrow to cruelty.

Cort's technique in this engraving demonstrates his mastery of line and texture, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that enhances the dramatic effect. His ability to translate the painterly qualities of his Italian contemporaries into the medium of engraving made his works highly sought after and influential.

Ecce Homo by Cornelis Cort remains an important example of Northern European printmaking and its role in the broader context of Renaissance art. It reflects the cross-cultural exchanges between Northern and Southern Europe during this period and highlights Cort's contribution to the art of engraving.
