The painting "Ecce Homo" is the work of the Italian master Tiziano Vecellio. It was the masterpiece of the Brukenthal Museum in the Romanian town Sibiu (Hermannstadt). The painting disappeared shortly after it was reproduced on a stamp and on a souvenir sheet (the date of issue was March 28th, 1968) and was never seen after that unfortunate event. |  |
