Christ Preaching, also known as 'la Petite Tombe' (b., Holl. 67; H. 256; Bb. 52-2), is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created around 1652. This work is celebrated for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and masterful use of light and shadow, which are hallmarks of Rembrandt's etching technique. The title 'la Petite Tombe' is derived from the name of the French collector who once owned the plate, and it translates to 'the small tomb,' though the etching itself does not depict a tomb.

The etching portrays a scene from the New Testament, where Christ is shown preaching to a diverse group of listeners. The composition is notable for its intimate and humanistic portrayal of the figures, capturing a range of emotions and reactions among the crowd. Rembrandt's skillful use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ, who is illuminated and depicted with a serene and compassionate expression.

Rembrandt's ability to convey complex human emotions and interactions through his etchings is evident in 'la Petite Tombe.' The figures surrounding Christ include men, women, and children, each rendered with individual characteristics and expressions, reflecting the artist's keen observation of human nature. The setting appears to be a humble interior, possibly a synagogue or a simple gathering place, which adds to the sense of immediacy and realism in the scene.

This etching is considered one of Rembrandt's masterpieces in the medium, showcasing his technical prowess and deep understanding of biblical themes. 'La Petite Tombe' remains a significant work in the study of Rembrandt's oeuvre, illustrating his innovative approach to printmaking and his enduring impact on the art world.
