Caravaggio's painting Ecce Homo depicts a scene taken from the New Testament. This painting combines the crowning of Christ's head with thorns, and the mocking of Christ, with Pontius Pilate displaying Christ to the crowds, shouting Ecce Homo, or "behold the man." The characters are painted in a mature and characteristic Roman period style. The forms are close-up, and he uses dramatic light to emphasize the Christ figure. There is a lack of depth and background, and the dark colors are evidence of the Baroque art movement of which Caravaggio was instrumental in developing.

There is signature psychological realism, characteristic of Caravaggio, in the torturer's face, which seems to convey pity and sadism equally. Pilate is depicted as a rather stoic, or neutral character, looking away, and perhaps sympathetic. Some claim that Caravaggio used his own face as a model for Pilate. It is also thought that this painting was a companion work for other paintings of the Passion and life of Christ that Caravaggio had painted.
