Painted about 1519-21; bought of the Colonna family, Rome, by Sir Simon Clarke, who sold it to Murat, King of Naples; from his widow, the ex-Queen, it passed to the Marquis of Londonderry, who sold it in 1834, together with the Education of Cupid, to National Gallery for £11,500. Placed by Meyer among the doubtful works of Correggio. At the end of the 16th century there were two Ecce Homos claimed to be by Correggio: One belonging to Count Prati (engraved by Agostino Carracci, 1587), the other to Lorenzo Salviati, Florence. This latter, which passed to the Colonna family, is the National Gallery picture. The other has disappeared. Engraved by Bettelini; Doo; Asioli; Rosaspina.—Meyer, Correggio, 357, 487; do. Künst.
