'''Ecce Homo''' is a painting by the Dutch Renaissance artist Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574), created circa 1544. The work is a depiction of the biblical scene of "Ecce Homo," where Pontius Pilate presents a scourged Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his crucifixion. The phrase "Ecce Homo" translates to "Behold the Man" in Latin, a declaration attributed to Pilate in the Gospel of John (19:5), as he addresses the people of Jerusalem.

Van Heemskerck's interpretation of this poignant moment is noted for its dramatic intensity and emotional power. The painting showcases the artist's skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey narrative through composition and the use of light and shadow. Heemskerck's work is characterized by a blend of late Gothic and early Mannerist styles, which is evident in the elongated proportions and expressive gestures of the figures in "Ecce Homo."

The painting is part of a larger body of religious works by Van Heemskerck, who was known for his altarpieces and other ecclesiastical commissions. His travels to Italy, particularly Rome, from 1532 to 1536-1537, had a significant influence on his artistic development, as he was exposed to the works of Italian Renaissance masters. This experience enriched his palette, deepened his understanding of classical forms, and introduced a greater sense of spatial depth to his compositions.

"Ecce Homo" by Maarten van Heemskerck is held in high regard for its art historical significance and is considered an important example of Northern Renaissance art. The painting's current location is in a museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the understanding of 16th-century Netherlandish art.
