Christ Preaching (The Hundred Guilder Print) is a 1873 ink by Léopold Flameng, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a dimly lit scene with a group of people gathered around a central figure glowing with light. Some folks stand, others kneel or sit on the ground, looking up or toward the center. The central figure wears a robe and has a halo of light behind their head, while the crowd’s faces show a mix of awe and sorrow. The artist used shading and light to create depth, focusing on the central figure’s radiance. The rough, textured lines suggest movement and emotion in the crowd.
