Christ Preaching (The Hundred Guilder Print) is a 1646 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a group of people gathered around a glowing figure at the center. The crowd looks rough—some kneel, others lean on tools or staffs, and a few animals lie nearby. The background is dark, with rocky walls framing the group like they’re in a cave or hollowed-out space. Notice how the light comes only from the central figure, making everything else shadowy. The artist used different lines to build up the shapes, giving the print texture and depth. Look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how Rembrandt made this print.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
