Rembrandt's "The Hundred Guilder Print" is a powerful etching depicting the biblical scene of Christ healing the sick. Created in the mid-17th century, the piece showcases Rembrandt's mastery of chiaroscuro, with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that highlight the central figure of Christ. The composition is densely packed with figures, each rendered with meticulous detail, creating a sense of both awe and chaos. The print's popularity is reflected in its nickname, referencing its high price, a testament to its artistic quality and historical significance. The artwork is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
