Christus predikt 1616 - 1719

"Christus Predikt" (Christ Preaching) is an etching by Rembrandt van Rijn created between 1616 and 1719. The piece depicts Jesus preaching to a crowd, his raised hand emphasizing his words. Rembrandt’s characteristic use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, with the light falling dramatically on Jesus’s figure. The artwork showcases Rembrandt's early mastery of etching and his interest in religious themes, highlighting the power and emotion of Christ's sermon. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
