This painting may date as early as 1470. […] Christ is shown behind a parapet—a convention Antonello appropriated from portraiture. The device enhances the effect of Christ’s physical presence and suffering: « a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief » (Isaiah 53:3).

…the outstanding Ecce Homo by Antonello da Messina. Such painting is one of the top masterpieces by the painter from Messina, and deals with the key factor in his pictorial research, as confirmed by the stylistic comparison with other works of his, such as Ecce homo in Palazzo Spinola (Genova), Cristo Benedicente (Christ Blessing) at London’s National Gallery and Cristo alla Colonna (Christ at the pillar) at Louvre.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York, colloquially « the Met« ,[a] is the largest art museum in the United States. With 7.06 million visitors in 2016, it was the third most visited art museum in the world, and the fifth most visited museum of any kind. [8] Its permanent collection contains over two million works,[9] divided among seventeen curatorial departments. The main building, on the eastern edge of Central Park along Manhattan’s Museum Mile, is by area one of the world’s largest art galleries. A much smaller second location, The Cloistersat Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of art, architecture, and artifacts from Medieval Europe. On March 18, 2016, the museum opened the Met Breuermuseum at Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side; it extends the museum’s modern and contemporary art program.
The permanent collection consists of works of art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt, paintings, and sculptures from nearly all the Europeanmasters, and an extensive collection of American and modern art. The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine, and Islamic art. The museum is home to encyclopedic collections of musical instruments, costumes, and accessories, as well as antique weapons and armor from around the world. Several notable interiors, ranging from first-century Rome through modern American design, are installed in its galleries.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 for the purposes of opening a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. It opened on February 20, 1872, and was originally located at 681 Fifth Avenue.
