The most famous painting by Pachis in the church is “Ecce homo” (Behold the man), inspired by the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate when he presented Jesus Christ to the crowd before His Crucifixion. Christ is shown wearing a white loincloth and the purple cloak of the Roman army. He is invested with the crown of thorns, his wrists are tied, and he is holding a reed sceptre. This particular religious scene was widely depicted in Christian art since the Middle Ages (though it first appeared in Byzantine Syria). The motif of the lone Christ, who is staring directly at the observers, enabling them to identify with the deeper meaning of the Passion, arose in the late Middle Ages.
