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 complexity, and its rich interpretation of a biblical narrative. The etching derives its nickname from the high price it fetched during Rembrandt's lifetime, equivalent to 100 guilders, which underscored its extraordinary value and the esteem in which it was held by collectors.
The print depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:2), where Jesus Christ is shown healing the sick, casting out demons, and engaging with various figures, including the Pharisees and the rich young man who asked about eternal life. Rembrandt's skillful use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, is evident in this work, as he masterfully highlights the central figure of Christ amidst the surrounding throng of people seeking his miracles and wisdom.
Measuring approximately 280 x 387 mm, ''the Hundred Guilder Print'' is considered one of Rembrandt's most ambitious etchings. The artist's ability to convey a range of human emotions and social commentary within a single image is particularly noteworthy. The print is characterized by a combination of etching, drypoint, and engraving techniques, which allowed Rembrandt to achieve a variety of textures and depths.
The print's composition is divided into several zones, each teeming with life and activity, yet all are harmoniously connected through the figure of Christ at the center. The work is not only a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of printmaking but also reflects his deep engagement with theological themes and his contemplation of the human condition.
Today, ''Christ Healing the Sick'' is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a masterpiece of printmaking. It is housed in various museum collections around the world, including the British Museum in London, and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and cultural significance within Rembrandt's oeuvre.
