"Samuel Manasseh Ben Israel" is a notable etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1636. The work is a portrait of Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel, a prominent Portuguese-Jewish scholar, writer, and diplomat based in Amsterdam, who was a key figure in the Jewish community of the time. Menasseh Ben Israel is perhaps best known for his efforts to negotiate the re-admittance of Jews to England, from which they had been expelled in 1290.

The etching is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, as well as his interest in the Jewish community of Amsterdam, which is reflected in several of his works. In this portrait, Rembrandt depicts the rabbi with a sense of dignity and intellect, employing his masterful use of light and shadow to highlight the features of Menasseh Ben Israel's face and his expressive eyes, which convey a sense of wisdom and contemplation.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it represents the relationship between the Jewish community and the broader society in 17th-century Amsterdam. Rembrandt's portrayal of Menasseh Ben Israel is one of respect and admiration, indicating the artist's personal interest in the intellectual and cultural contributions of his Jewish contemporaries.

The etching is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly study, both for its artistic qualities and for what it reveals about the social and cultural interactions of the period. It remains an important piece within Rembrandt's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's ability to capture the likeness and spirit of his subjects with profound empathy and technical prowess.
