Description:

 "Ecce homo" is a Latin phrase meaning "behold the man," famously spoken by Pontius Pilate in the Gospel of John as he presents Christ to the crowd before his crucifixion. This portrayal, known as the "Ecce Homo" style, originated in the 16th century. The "sacred heart" motif, on the other hand, dates back to the 13th century and is also depicted in this graphic representation of a suffering Christ.
