''Christ Preaching'' (''The Hundred Guilder Print'') is a renowned print by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, created circa 1647–1649. This etching, which is one of Rembrandt's most famous, is officially titled "Christ Healing the Sick," but it acquired its colloquial name due to a legend that Rembrandt sold the print for 100 guilders, an exceptionally high sum at the time. The work is celebrated for its intricate detail, masterful use of light and shadow, and the emotional depth with which it portrays the figures.

The print depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:2), where Jesus is surrounded by a variety of figures, including the sick, the poor, mothers with children, and the disciples. The composition is notable for its dense assembly of characters and the range of expressions and reactions to Christ's teachings. Rembrandt's skill in etching is evident in the rich contrasts and the subtlety of the lines, which create a sense of depth and texture.

Measuring approximately 280 x 387 mm, the work is a combination of etching, drypoint, and burin, which allowed Rembrandt to achieve both delicate and vigorous lines, contributing to the print's dynamic quality. The Hundred Guilder Print is a prime example of Rembrandt's innovative approach to printmaking, where he treated the medium with the same freedom and expressiveness as painting.

The print's title, "The Hundred Guilder Print," not only reflects its high value but also underscores the esteem in which it was held by collectors and connoisseurs. Today, it remains an important work in the study of Rembrandt's prints and is held in numerous collections around the world, including the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

As a testament to Rembrandt's genius in the graphic arts, ''Christ Preaching'' (''The Hundred Guilder Print'') continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its profound interpretation of a biblical narrative, making it a masterpiece of 17th-century printmaking.
