About the Item
17th-century Genoese School
Workshop of Valerio Castello (Genoa, 1624 - Genoa, 1659)
Ecce homo
Oil on canvas
117 x 99 cm.
In frame 138 x 118 cm.
The Ecce Homo, the subject of our intense canvas, is the Gospel episode during which Jesus, awaiting his condemnation and after his scourging, is presented to the people by Pilate, then the Roman governor of Judea, whom we see portrayed here at his side wearing a turban in the Middle Eastern style. To his right a henchman, with an amused look, holds the rope that binds Christ's hands.
The canvas immortalises the moment when the Saviour accepts his final destiny: in his face, not only humiliation but also a moment of deep introspection and emotion. He is then portrayed with a crown of thorns placed over his long hair and stripped of his clothes, his hands tied and crossed, alluding to his immediate crucifixion on Golgotha.
‘’Ecce homo‘’, which literally means ‘Here is the Man’, was the phrase uttered by Pilate himself to designate the scourged Jesus and to ingratiate himself with the crowd, aware that he had condemned an innocent man.
This type of portrayal of Christ would be very widespread in the 16th century, giving rise to particularly intense creations, capable of moving even those who do not prefer subjects with such a strong emotional impact. Whipped and mocked while awaiting his martyrdom, it is striking that his face appears sad, resigned, but not suffering, evoking the compassion he granted his executioners.
The composition, with its intense devotional character, fits easily into the mid-seventeenth-century Genoese milieu and specifically into the figurative repertoire of Valerio Castello (Genoa, 1624 - 1659); an interpreter of a new compositional conception, breaking with the Genoese pictorial tradition, through a recovery of the masters of sixteenth-century Mannerism and a careful observation of the works of the Flemish, first and foremost Rubens, and the Venetians present in abundance in Genoese collections.
Within the sphere of Genoese figurative culture, no-one like Castello was able to interpret, through the liveliness of the compositional rhythm and palette, the new feeling of an era that favoured a strong theatricality, which is well suited to the staging of our subject.

Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy
By Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
The Resurrection of Christ
Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century
Oil on canvas
108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm.
This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky.
Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background.
The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death.
The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...
