This a precise copy of the painting “The Crown of Thorns (Ecce Homo)” by Peter Paul Rubens. An attempts is made to recreate the original painting visually, as well as technically. The same technique is used, including lead white underpainting, multiple glazes and even some of the original cracks. Making this copy took me about nine months. One major difference is that the original is on oakwood panel and the copy is made on stretched canvas.
