Ecce homo – “Behold the Man” are the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the Vulgate translation of the Gospel of John, when he presents a scourged Jesus Christ, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his Crucifixion.
This sugar sculpture is entirely edible, my first piece using candy clay for modeling. Also used pastillage, fondant, dragees and rice treats for the sculpture core. Inspired in the original art by Manuel Pereira in the 17th Century.
Ioannes 19:5
