Painting Description
"Christ Healing the Sick," commonly referred to as the "Hundred Guilder Print," is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Created around 1649, this masterful work is celebrated for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and technical brilliance. The etching depicts a scene from the New Testament, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ heals the sick and performs miracles. The composition is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Rembrandt's style, which enhances the emotional intensity of the scene.
The "Hundred Guilder Print" earned its nickname due to the high price it commanded during Rembrandt's lifetime, reportedly selling for one hundred guilders, a substantial sum at the time. This high valuation underscores the print's significance and the esteem in which it was held by contemporary collectors and art enthusiasts. The etching measures approximately 28 x 39 cm (11 x 15 inches) and is considered one of Rembrandt's most ambitious and complex prints.
In the artwork, Rembrandt masterfully arranges a multitude of figures around the central figure of Christ, who is depicted with an aura of calm and compassion. The surrounding characters, including the sick, the poor, and the curious onlookers, are rendered with remarkable individuality and expressiveness. This attention to detail and the ability to convey a wide range of human emotions are key aspects of Rembrandt's genius.
The "Hundred Guilder Print" is also significant for its technical innovation. Rembrandt employed a combination of etching, drypoint, and engraving techniques to achieve a rich tonal quality and intricate detail. This blend of methods allowed him to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensionality and realism of the scene.
Today, "Christ Healing the Sick" is regarded as one of the finest examples of printmaking in art history. It remains a testament to Rembrandt's skill as an etcher and his profound ability to capture the human condition. The print is housed in various prestigious collections worldwide, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the British Museum in London, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and art lovers alike.
