Christ Presented to the People (Ecce Homo) (dry point (print); Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn; ca. 1653; Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Minneapolis, Hennepin county,...; P.68.408)

Note: Early in his career, Rembrandt produced a large print of this subject with a decidedly more baroque composition. Here he rethought the image to contend with the Renaissance ideas of Raphael and his own countryman, Lucas van Leyden. The composition, given structure by the rectilinear massing of the classical architecture, is calm and stable, except for the jeering crowd. Christ is so sparely depicted that he appears almost as the Holy Ghost. Rembrandt took pains to perfect the image. The fine brown pen lines in the crowd may reveal his efforts to adjust the lighting before committing to making changes in the copper plate.
