Painting Description
''Christ Healing the Sick'', commonly known as ''the Hundred Guilder Print'', is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created circa 1643–1649. This work is celebrated for its intricate detail, compositional mastery, and its rich interpretation of a biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:1-2, 13-26), which depicts various episodes from the life of Jesus Christ. The etching's nickname, ''the Hundred Guilder Print'', is derived from a high price that Rembrandt was reputed to have charged for impressions of the work, which was an enormous sum at the time.
The print measures approximately 280 x 398 mm and is considered one of Rembrandt's most complex and technically accomplished etchings. The artist's use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, is particularly notable in this work, as it highlights the spiritual and emotional depth of the scene. The composition is bustling with activity and includes a variety of figures, such as the sick seeking healing, the Pharisees questioning Jesus, and the inclusion of the Little Children being brought to Christ, which adds to the narrative richness of the piece.
Rembrandt's skill in etching allowed him to achieve a remarkable range of tonal variations, from the deepest blacks to the most delicate grays, which gives the print a painterly quality rarely seen in this medium. The ''Hundred Guilder Print'' is not only a testament to Rembrandt's virtuosity as an etcher but also reflects his profound understanding of human nature and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through art.
The print has been widely studied and admired, and it holds a significant place in the history of art as a masterful blend of genre and religious narrative. It is held in numerous collections around the world and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its artistic and historical significance.
