The epitaph of Matheus Kuchler with the painting of ”Ecce Homo”

Both the painting and its frame perfectly exemplify the Renaissance tendencies, gaining advantage over the late Gothic style in the Silesian art scene. The image of Christ presented to the public after His flagellation, with the late Gothic expressiveness of gestures and faces of figures, and the crowded composition typical of the late Gothic, are combined with the simplified Renaissance range of colours, an attempt to introduce a linear perspective, and a remote landscape, as well as an illustration of the pseudo-antique architecture of the palace of Pontius Pilate. The architectural framing of the painting, which includes the candelabra decor and the Roman-style inscription, are pure Renaissance.
