"The Tribute Money" (b., Holl. 68; H.124; Bb. 35-2) is an etching created by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. This work is part of Rembrandt's extensive oeuvre of prints, which he produced alongside his more famous paintings. The etching is based on a biblical narrative from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 22:15-22), where Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and Herodians who attempt to entrap him with the question of whether it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. In response, Jesus asks them to show him a coin and famously replies, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."

Rembrandt's interpretation of this scene is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of his style that enhances the emotional intensity of the moment. The etching captures the tension and the moral gravity of the encounter, with Jesus depicted in a calm and composed manner, contrasting with the more animated expressions of the Pharisees and Herodians. The intricate details and the masterful use of chiaroscuro in the etching demonstrate Rembrandt's exceptional skill in printmaking.

This work is also significant in the context of Rembrandt's broader artistic practice. Throughout his career, Rembrandt was deeply engaged with biblical themes, and "The Tribute Money" reflects his profound interest in the human and divine aspects of these stories. The etching is a testament to his ability to convey complex theological and philosophical ideas through his art.

"The Tribute Money" remains an important piece within Rembrandt's body of work, illustrating his technical prowess and his deep engagement with religious and ethical questions. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to our understanding of Rembrandt's contributions to the art of the 17th century.
