About this painting

Infrared found the dots. MNAC's own conservators looked under the paint of this panel and saw the pricked marks of a stencil — across the shoulders of the tunic, the forearms, the hands, the reed, and faintly in the nose. The museum says no pouncing had ever been documented in a Morales before. So the composition was traced from a cartoon and repeated to order, by the master or by his shop. Devotion, made to demand, and still this quiet.

(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.
