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 in approximately 1647-1649, this work is celebrated for its intricate detail, compositional complexity, and the profound emotional depth it conveys. The print derives its name from a story that Rembrandt sold it for 100 guilders, an exceptionally high price at the time, reflecting its extraordinary value and the esteem in which it was held.
Measuring about 280 x 390 mm, this etching is notable for its use of multiple intaglio techniques, including etching, drypoint, and engraving, which Rembrandt employed to achieve a remarkable variety of tones and textures. This mastery of technique allows for a vivid depiction of light and shadow, contributing to the dramatic effect of the scene.
The subject matter of The Hundred Guilder Print is drawn from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:13-26), combining several episodes into a single, cohesive narrative. This includes Christ's discussions with the Pharisees about marriage and divorce, his interaction with the rich young man, and the blessing of the children. Rembrandt's genius lies in his ability to unify these distinct biblical moments into a harmonious composition that emphasizes Christ's compassion and the theme of salvation.
The print showcases a diverse array of figures, each rendered with individual care and attention to detail, reflecting various states of emotion and spiritual engagement. The central figure of Christ is depicted with a serene and compassionate demeanor, surrounded by people from all walks of life, including the sick, the elderly, and children, all drawn to his teachings and healing presence.
The Hundred Guilder Print holds a significant place in Rembrandt's oeuvre and in the history of art for its technical brilliance, emotional depth, and the innovative way in which it communicates complex biblical narratives. It remains a subject of admiration and study for its artistic and historical importance, exemplifying Rembrandt's mastery of the etching medium and his profound understanding of human nature and spirituality.
