"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 deep emotional resonance through intricate line work and shading. The etching depicts the 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 employed to great effect in both his paintings and prints. The composition is centered around the figure of Jesus, who is depicted with a calm and authoritative demeanor, contrasting with the more animated and questioning expressions of the surrounding figures. This dynamic interplay of expressions and gestures adds a layer of psychological depth to the narrative, inviting viewers to contemplate the moral and theological implications of the scene.

The etching is also significant for its technical brilliance. Rembrandt's use of fine lines and cross-hatching creates a rich texture and a sense of depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the composition. The careful attention to detail, from the folds of the garments to the intricate facial expressions, exemplifies Rembrandt's skill and his keen observation of human nature.

"The Tribute Money" remains one of Rembrandt's most celebrated etchings, reflecting his profound engagement with biblical themes and his innovative approach to printmaking. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century Europe.
