Ecce Homo (c. 1605/06 or 1609 according to John Gash[1]) is a painting of the moment known as Ecce Homo from the Passion of Jesus by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio. It is now in the Palazzo Bianco, Genoa, Italy. Contemporary accounts claim the piece was part of an unannounced competition between three artists, and that the Caravaggio version was eventually sent to Spain.
Its attribution has been disputed, and a recently re-attributed version of the subject, now in Madrid, has been claimed to be the Caravaggio commissioned by Cardinal Massimo Massimi. The question remains unsettled.[2]
