The Ecce Homo Unveiled
Museo Nacional del Prado and Colnaghi are honoured to announce a nine-month loan of Caravaggio’s masterpiece Ecce Homo to the Spanish national museum in Madrid, on behalf of the painting’s new owner. The Prado Museum will unveil the work for a special solo display from 28 May until October 2024.
Painted by the great Italian artist around 1605–09 and believed to have once been part of the private collection of Philip IV of Spain, the painting is one of around only 60 known works by Caravaggio in existence and since its reappearance at auction three years ago, has represented one of the greatest discoveries in the history of art, inspiring an unprecedented speed of consensus around its authentication.
