Santo ecce-homo, Wooden religious sculpture in Bembibre, Spain.
The Santo Ecce-Homo sculpture stands 1.42 meters tall and features detailed craftsmanship with paint-enhanced carved wood displaying Christ's representation.
Pedro de Mena created this religious artwork between 1674 and 1685, during a period when Spanish baroque sculptors emphasized naturalistic representations.
The sculpture represents the biblical moment when Pontius Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd, incorporating glass eyes and realistic hair for enhanced detail.
This religious artifact remains protected within the Sanctuary of Santo Ecce-Homo, which underwent multiple restorations throughout the nineteenth century.
The French army destroyed the original sanctuary housing the sculpture on January 2, 1809, leading to its reconstruction starting in 1815.
