"The Circumcision" (b., Holl.398; H.388 Rej.; Bb.26-2) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1654. This work is part of Rembrandt's extensive oeuvre of religious prints, which are celebrated for their profound emotional depth and masterful use of light and shadow. The etching depicts the biblical scene of the circumcision of Jesus, an event described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:21). This moment is significant in Christian theology as it marks Jesus' formal induction into the Jewish faith, occurring eight days after his birth.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this scene is notable for its intimate and humanistic portrayal. The composition centers on the infant Jesus, held tenderly by the Virgin Mary, while the high priest performs the ritual. The expressions of the figures are rendered with remarkable sensitivity, capturing a range of emotions from solemnity to reverence. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique Rembrandt mastered, enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures while creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

The etching is also distinguished by its meticulous detail and the artist's skillful handling of the medium. Rembrandt's ability to convey texture and form through delicate lines and cross-hatching is evident in the intricate depiction of the figures' garments and the architectural elements of the temple setting. This work exemplifies Rembrandt's innovative approach to printmaking, where he often experimented with different techniques and materials to achieve a desired effect.

"The Circumcision" holds a significant place within Rembrandt's body of work, reflecting his deep engagement with biblical themes and his ability to convey complex human emotions through his art. It remains a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age.
