Label TextJesus seems to be the source of light in the center of this monumental print, called the Hundred Guilder Print for the high price it commanded in seventeenth-century Holland. Rembrandt has masterfully combined into one composition various scenes from the nineteenth chapter of Matthew, which tells of Christ healing the sick. The wide tonal range and myriad expressions help render the various dramas taking place, from debating scholars on the left to a camel and dozing traveler on the right.Status
