Important painting on copper representing "Ecce Homo". The disfigured face of Christ with the head crowned with thorns in its most traditional image It is one of the most classic and representative representations of ancient painting, which saw the great masters of all Europe s try to achieve it. Among these, the Flemish and Spanish painters stand out for their intensity and dramatic realism. Our splendid copper is a classic example of 16th century Spanish painting strongly influenced by Flemish art and condenses the pictorial characteristics of these two great schools. The conditions of the paint layer are really excellent with a very fine crease and no drop of color. It is very rare to find on the market brass instruments of this level, from this period and in this splendid state of conservation. The measurement is also very generous for this particular painting technique. The splendid frame carved and openwork with leaf motifs, gilded with pure gold, increases the beauty and importance of the work.
