"The Tribute Money" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1635. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 68, Hind 124, and Biörklund and Barnard 35-D, showcases Rembrandt's skill in handling biblical themes with a profound sense of human emotion and dramatic intensity. The etching depicts the New Testament story from Matthew 22:15-22, where Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus with a question about the lawfulness of paying taxes to the Roman Emperor. Jesus, discerning their malice, asks to see the coin used for the tax and poses the famous question, "Whose image is this, and whose inscription?" Upon receiving the answer that it is Caesar's, Jesus replies, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." This narrative not only highlights the political and religious tensions of the time but also illustrates Jesus' wisdom in navigating tricky questions posed by his adversaries.

In Rembrandt's depiction, the focus is on the interaction between Jesus and the questioner, rendered with fine detail and expressive facial features that convey the intensity of the moment. The etching is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that Rembrandt mastered and that adds a theatrical quality to the scene. "The Tribute Money" is not only a reflection of Rembrandt's artistic skills but also an example of his deep engagement with theological themes and his ability to interpret them through the lens of human experience. This work remains an important piece in the study of Rembrandt's etchings and his approach to biblical storytelling.
