Ecce Homo or Pontius Pilate Presenting Christ to the Crowd
Artist: Jacopo Tintoretto (Venetian, 1519–1594)
Date: 1546-1547
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: São Paulo Museum of Art, São Paulo, Brazil
Ecce Homo
"Ecce Homo" is a Latin phrase meaning "Behold the Man," and it refers to the moment in the Bible where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus, crowned with thorns, to the crowd before his crucifixion, saying these words as a gesture of defiance to the Jewish leaders demanding his execution; essentially asking them to "behold the man" they want crucified; it is a common theme in Christian art, depicting Jesus in a suffering state with the crown of thorns.
John 19:5
So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”

The Meeting of Tamar and Judah
Artist: Jacopo Tintoretto (Italian, 1519–1594)
Genre: Religious Art
Date: ca. 1555-1559
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid
The Story of Tamar
There are three women named Tamar in Scripture. One Tamar, the beautiful daughter of Absalom, is only mentioned in passing in 2 Samuel 14:27; this Tamar became the mother of Queen Maacah, who married King Rehoboam. The other two Tamars are both tragic figures, women who were ruined by the neglect and abuse of close family members. Their stories seem to be included in Scripture for the purpose of providing historical and spiritual information about the Messianic line.
Jacob’s son Judah, patriarch of the line of Judah had three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah. A woman named Tamar married Er, but then Er died, leaving her a widow. Since it was required that the next of kin care for a brother’s widow, Tamar was given to Onan, but he also died. Shelah was still a boy and could not marry Tamar, so Judah asked her to return to her father’s house and wait until Shelah was grown up. However, once Shelah was old enough, Judah did not honor his promise. Tamar remained an unmarried widow. Tamar then went into town disguised as a prostitute, tricked Judah, and got him to sleep with her. She then became pregnant by Judah and bore twin sons named Perez and Zerah. The story is recorded in Genesis 38.
Who was Judah?
Judah was the fourth son of Jacob with his wife Leah, and the head of one of the 12 tribes of Israel. The other 11 tribes descended from Judah’s brothers and half-brothers.

Jacopo Tintoretto (1519 — 94), The Muses (1578)
The Muses were the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne and companions of Apollo (here represented as the sun rather than a bodily presence). Like Apollo, they were regarded as incorporating supreme outward beauty and intellectual grace. They were originally seen as the divine inspiration for poetry, song and dance, but gradually became the emblems of all the liberal arts. Hesiod and the literature of the later Roman Empire gave each muse a specific literary form and musical instrument, but the associations were always flexible. By the sixteenth century Apollo and the Muses had become associated with the idea of the harmony of the spheres, with Apollo as the Sun. It is not surprising, given this range of associations, that the individual Muses are hard to identify here.
