247. "ECCO HOMO!"

_Matteo di Giovanni_ (Sienese: 1435-1495). _See_ 1155.

"Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple

robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!" (Ecco Homo) (St.

John xix. 5). In the "glory" around the head are the Latin letters

signifying "Jesus Christ of Nazareth"; on the outer edge of the

background, "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in

heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth" (Philippians

ii. 10).
