Specialist note

One of Andrea Solario's most enduringly popular compositions, this Ecce Homo is among a number of high quality studio repetitions that survive. Two autograph versions are listed in David Alan Brown's 1987 catalogue raisonné: one, signed, in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is thought to be the prime; and a second in the Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig. Both paintings are thought to date from the artist's stay in France in 1507-1509.
