"The Presentation In The Temple In The Dark Manner" (b., Holl. 50; H. 279; Bb. 57-1) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1654. This work is a compelling example of Rembrandt's mastery in the medium of etching and his innovative use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which is often referred to as the "dark manner." The etching depicts the biblical scene of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, an event described in the Gospel of Luke (2:22-40). This moment is significant in Christian tradition as it marks the first time Jesus is presented to God in the temple, fulfilling Jewish law.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this scene is notable for its emotional depth and the intimate atmosphere he creates. The composition centers around the figures of the infant Jesus, held by Simeon, an elderly and devout man who had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Messiah. The Virgin Mary and Joseph are also present, along with the prophetess Anna, who recognizes Jesus as the Redeemer. The use of light in the etching is particularly striking; Rembrandt employs a strong contrast between the illuminated figures and the dark, shadowy surroundings, drawing the viewer's focus to the central action and enhancing the spiritual significance of the moment.

The etching is part of Rembrandt's broader body of work that explores religious themes with a profound sense of humanity and realism. His ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through the medium of etching has cemented his reputation as one of the greatest artists of the Baroque period. "The Presentation In The Temple In The Dark Manner" exemplifies Rembrandt's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the divine, making it a significant piece in the study of his oeuvre and the history of art.
