Researchers in Cyprus have discovered a hidden portrait that lay undetected for centuries beneath a 1570 oil painting by Renaissance master Titian, a rendering of which is now on display in the city of Limassol.

賽普勒斯研究人員發現，出自文藝復興大師提香手筆的1幅1570年油畫之下，隱藏著1幅數個世紀以來未被察覺的肖像畫。該幅作品重現後，如今在賽普勒斯城市利馬索爾展出。

The newly discovered work shows a unidentified man with a thin moustache, quill in hand, standing next to a stack of papers or books - a prosaic image compared to the scene of Jesus Christ, bound and wearing a crown of thorns, that Titian later painted over it.

這幅新發現的作品呈現1名身分不明的男性，蓄著淺鬍，手握鵝毛筆，站在一疊紙張或書本旁—與提香覆蓋其上的畫作，遭捆縛並戴上荊棘王冠的耶穌基督畫面相較顯得平淡。

The finished artwork, called Ecce Homo - meaning "Behold, The Man" in English - shows Jesus standing next to Pontius Pilate, who presided over the last stages of Jesus’ trial before he was crucified.

這幅藝術成品名為「試觀此人」—英文語意為「瞧，這個人」—描繪耶穌站在本丟‧彼拉多身旁的景象。耶穌被釘上十字架前的最終階段審判，正是由他主持。

Born Tiziano Vecellio in 1488, Titian, together with his studio in Venice, produced hundreds of paintings until his death in 1576.

本名提齊安諾‧維伽略的提香生於1488年，與他在威尼斯的工作坊製作出上百幅畫作，直到1576年逝世。
