Painting Description
The Hundred Guilder Print, also known as Christ Healing the Sick, is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Created around 1649, this masterpiece is celebrated for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and technical brilliance. The etching measures approximately 28 cm by 39 cm and is considered one of Rembrandt's most ambitious and complex works in the medium of printmaking.
The print derives its name from the high price it commanded during Rembrandt's lifetime, reportedly selling for one hundred guilders, a substantial sum at the time. The composition is a rich tapestry of biblical scenes, primarily focusing on the narrative from the Gospel of Matthew, where Christ heals the sick and blesses the children. Rembrandt's ability to convey a range of human emotions and his masterful use of light and shadow are evident in this work, which captures the essence of compassion and divine intervention.
Rembrandt's technique in The Hundred Guilder Print showcases his innovative approach to etching. He employed a combination of etching, drypoint, and engraving to achieve varying textures and depths, creating a dynamic interplay of light and dark. This meticulous attention to detail and the layering of techniques allowed Rembrandt to produce a print that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
The composition is divided into several distinct groups, each telling a part of the larger narrative. On the left, Christ is depicted surrounded by the sick and the needy, reaching out to them with a gesture of blessing. To the right, a group of Pharisees and onlookers observe the scene with a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. The central figure of Christ serves as the unifying element, drawing the viewer's eye and emphasizing the theme of divine compassion.
The Hundred Guilder Print remains a testament to Rembrandt's genius as a printmaker and his deep understanding of human nature. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, reflecting the height of Rembrandt's achievements in the art of etching.
