Here is an intimate view of Christ alone from an episode of the Passion. This is the moment just before Jesus is brought before the Jewish people and Pontius Pilate declares: 'Behold the Man' (Ecce Homo). Christ has been flogged, mocked and dressed in an imperial gown, wrists bound, and crowned with thorns. Blood drips down his forehead. It is as if he is having a last look in the mirror before the crucifixion and, although he is facing the viewer, his eyes are glazed over in resignation. Foppa is known for his daring perspective and elaborate foreshortenings in his fresco cycles and large altarpieces, having been influenced by the artistic developments in Milan at the end of the fifteenth century. Yet this painting is different, except in the grey, cold effect of the colour.
