Painting Description
"Christ Healing the Sick," also known as "The Hundred Guilder Print," is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created circa 1649. This work is considered one of Rembrandt's most significant and complex etchings, both for its technical mastery and its intricate depiction of multiple biblical scenes. The etching derives its informal name from a legend that Rembrandt sold the piece for 100 guilders, an impressive sum at the time, reflecting its high esteem among collectors.
The etching measures approximately 280 x 398 mm and is executed on a single plate. It is characterized by its remarkable use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt employed to dramatic effect. The composition is a confluence of various episodes from the Gospel of Matthew (chapter 19), including Christ's discussions with the Pharisees, the encounter with the rich young man, and the presentation of little children to Christ for blessing. Central to the work is the figure of Christ, who is depicted with a radiant halo, surrounded by a throng of figures representing the sick and the poor, whom he heals and comforts.
"Christ Healing the Sick" is notable for its intricate layering of figures and the emotional depth with which Rembrandt renders the human condition. The etching showcases Rembrandt's skill in handling different textures and materials, as well as his ability to convey narrative through composition and the interplay of light and dark. The work is a testament to Rembrandt's deep engagement with religious themes and his empathy for human suffering and redemption.
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 the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The etching continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is frequently studied for its artistic and historical significance, as well as its reflection of Rembrandt's personal faith and the religious context of the 17th-century Dutch Republic.
