JUAN CARREÑO DE MIRANDA Avilés 1614 - Madrid 1685 Ecce Homo with Caifás Oil on canvas Measurements 112 x 83.5 cm Until now only known the Ecce Homo with Caifás by Juan Carreño de Miranda that was released in 1972 by Jesús Fernández Barretini. The one we present now derives compositionally from this same model, although it is also indebted to the Ecce Homo (oil on canvas, signed, 84.5 x 61.5 cm) auctioned in this same house in February 2019. This work was fits perfectly into the painter's second stage, in his heyday as a Chamber painter at the court of Carlos II. His dense and long brushstrokes with which he recreates any texture or object, are combined with other more sparkling ones that allow him to express the drama of a scene conceived to move the devoted spectator. In these paintings, neo-mannerism and great theatricality in gestures are characteristic, without forgetting the Rubenian opulence and the neo-Venetian color as a memory of the painting of Tintoretto and Veronese. We can end by stating that this Ecce Homo with Caifás is a happy addition to Carreño's catalogue.
