In the foreground, the Roman governor Pontius Pilate leads Christ out and says ‘Ecce Homo’ (‘Behold the man’). On seeing him, the chief priests and officers called for Christ’s crucifixion; Pilate replied, ‘Take ye him and crucify him: for I find no fault in him’ (John 19: 6). The foremost figures are presumably the chief priests, with the ‘officers’ behind them.
We don't know the identity of the painter, but he was an eclectic artist, borrowing whole scenes and individual figures from other artists, among them Martin Schongauer, Hans Memling and Albrecht Dürer.
