"Tribute Money" is a painting by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1629. This work is a compelling example of Rembrandt's early mastery in the use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which became a hallmark of his style. The painting 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 a question about the legality of paying taxes to the Roman Emperor. 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 narrative is both intimate and intense, capturing the psychological depth and moral gravity of the moment. The composition is centered around the figure of Jesus, who is illuminated by a soft, divine light that contrasts sharply with the darker, more shadowed figures of his questioners. This use of light not only highlights Jesus as the focal point but also underscores the spiritual significance of his response.

The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of facial expressions and gestures, which convey a range of emotions from skepticism and cunning to serenity and wisdom. Rembrandt's skillful use of texture and color further enhances the realism and emotional impact of the scene. The work reflects his deep understanding of human nature and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art.

"Tribute Money" is housed in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. It exemplifies Rembrandt's early genius and his enduring influence on the art world.
