Painting Description
The Hundred Guilder Print is an esteemed etching by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created circa 1647-1649. Officially titled "Christ Healing the Sick," it has earned its colloquial name due to a legend that Rembrandt sold the print for 100 guilders, an exorbitant sum at the time. This work is renowned for its intricate detail, compositional complexity, and the masterful use of light and shadow, which exemplify Rembrandt's skill in the etching medium.
Measuring approximately 280 x 388 mm, the print depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 19:13-26), where Jesus Christ is entwined in various acts of teaching and healing. The multifaceted narrative includes the depiction of the rich young man asking Jesus about eternal life, the blessing of the children, and the healing of the sick and the lame. The print is often celebrated for its synthesis of numerous Biblical episodes into a single, harmonious composition.
The Hundred Guilder Print is notable for its experimental technique. Rembrandt employed a combination of etching, drypoint, and engraving to achieve a wide range of tonal effects, from the finest of lines to deep, rich shadows. This layering of techniques contributes to the print's dynamic texture and depth.
The work's historical significance is amplified by its rarity and the esteem in which it is held by collectors and institutions. It is considered one of Rembrandt's most significant and accomplished prints, reflecting his deep understanding of human emotion, his mastery of printmaking, and his profound interpretation of religious narratives.
Today, impressions of the Hundred Guilder Print are held in the collections of major museums around the world, including the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The print continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is frequently referenced in discussions of Rembrandt's oeuvre and the art of etching in the Dutch Golden Age.
