Ecce homo are the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate
in the Vulgate translation of John 19:5, when he presents a scourged Jesus
Christ, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his
Crucifixion. The Douay-Rheims Bible translates the phrase into English as
"Behold the man!" [John 19:5] The scene has been widely depicted in
Christian art. More on Ecce homo
School of Prague. Starting in the early 18th century a series of organizations were formed in Prague with an interest in promoting art and education. Thanks in part to their efforts, the Academy of Fine Arts was founded by Imperial Decree on September 10, 1799. It began with instruction in drawing. The academy was gradually expanded to include programs in architecture, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, among others. More on School of Prague
