Christ Healing the Sick (‘Hundred Guilder Print’)
In this masterpiece, Rembrandt offers a unique interpretation of a chapter from the Bible by grouping all the figures, rich and poor, young and old, healthy and sick, around Jesus. In the technical execution, he achieved previously unseen nuances in shades of grey, ranging from velvety black, through grey, to almost white. And, at Jesus’ feet is the reclining woman from one of his preparatory drawings.
