Painting Description
The Hundred Guilder Print, also known as "Christ Healing the Sick," "Christ with the Sick around Him, Receiving Little Children," or "The Hundred Guilder Piece," is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created circa 1647-1649. This work is one of Rembrandt's most famous and celebrated prints, and it is known for its complex composition and the masterful use of etching techniques. The name "The Hundred Guilder Print" is derived from a story that Rembrandt sold the print for a hundred guilders, an exceptionally high price at the time.
The etching (catalogue references: Bartsch 74, Hollstein 236, Hind 236, New Hollstein Dutch 279) measures approximately 280 x 387 mm and is executed on a single plate. It depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:13-26), where Jesus Christ is shown preaching and performing miracles among various groups of people, including the sick, the poor, and children. The work is notable for its intricate detail and the variety of expressions and interactions among the figures, showcasing Rembrandt's skill in capturing human emotion and the nuances of religious narrative.
The Hundred Guilder Print is characterized by its sophisticated use of light and shadow, achieved through a combination of etching, drypoint, and burin. The print's rich tonal variations and the depth of its scenes are a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of the medium. The composition is divided into several zones, each representing different aspects of Christ's teachings and the reactions of the onlookers, which range from awe to skepticism.
This print is held in high esteem not only for its artistic excellence but also for its theological significance. It reflects Rembrandt's deep engagement with biblical subjects and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through visual art. The Hundred Guilder Print has been widely studied and admired, and it remains a key work in the oeuvre of Rembrandt prints, illustrating the artist's profound impact on the history of printmaking.
Today, impressions of The Hundred Guilder Print can be found in major museum collections around the world, and it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, representing the pinnacle of Rembrandt's graphic work.
