"The Tribute Money" (b., Holl.68; H.124; Bb.35-2) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1635. This work is a prime example of Rembrandt's mastery in the medium of etching, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through intricate lines and shading. The etching depicts a biblical scene 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 technique known as chiaroscuro, which he employs to highlight the central figures and create a sense of depth and volume. The composition is carefully balanced, with Jesus positioned at the center, surrounded by a group of inquisitive onlookers. The expressions and gestures of the figures are rendered with remarkable detail, capturing the tension and curiosity of the moment.

The etching is also significant for its technical execution. Rembrandt's use of varied line work, from delicate, fine lines to bold, dark strokes, adds texture and dimension to the image. This technique not only enhances the visual impact of the scene but also demonstrates Rembrandt's innovative approach to printmaking, which has influenced countless artists over the centuries.

"The Tribute Money" is part of a larger body of work by Rembrandt that explores religious and historical themes, reflecting his deep engagement with the human condition and his exceptional skill as a storyteller. Today, this etching is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
