Jérôme David after Guercino Ecce Homo ca. 1650-60 engraving British Museum |
"[Guercino's Ecce Homo] is cited by [Carlo Cesare] Malvasia under 1647 as 'Ecce Homo, tre mezze figure', commissioned by the Marchese Giovanni Nicolò Tanari, who paid 180 ducats (225 scudi) for it on 26 November 1647. . . . It seems to have been inspired by Francesco Albani's painting of the same subject [workshop copy directly below] in the Galleria Colonna Rome, datable c. 1635, in which, however, Christ is flanked by angels. Guercino's painting was acquired during the reign of King Maximilian I of Bavaria (reg. 1806-25)."

Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) Christ and the Woman of Samaria 1647-48 drawing (compositional study) Musée du Louvre |
"The composition [of Christ and the Woman of Samaria] is based on Guercino's earlier treatment of the subject in 1640. The figures are smaller in relation to the overall picture space. Christ seems less pedagogical in gesture and expression, and they seem on equal terms as they face each other across the well mouth."
