Ecce Homo
Andrea Mantegna · 1500
Why it's great
Christ stands with his hands tied, looking gaunt, while men crowd in from either side. Andrea Mantegna painted it in about 1500, and it is drawn so close up that it feels as though you were in the crowd.

Andrea Mantegna was an Italian painter born in 1431 and was the court painter to the Gonzaga family in Mantua. His sharply drawn, statue-like figures and bold use of perspective were studied by many painters, including his brother-in-law Giovanni Bellini. He died in 1506.
