The Hundred Guilder Print
Rembrandt van Rijn is best known nowadays for his oil paintings which exemplify the style and character of the masters of the Dutch Golden Age, but another important part of Rembrandt’s oeuvre were his etchings. Rembrandt produced etchings for most of career between 1626 and 1660, and the only reason that he stopped was because he was forced to sell his printing press. Rembrandt was from the start a highly skilled etcher, and although he was proficient in the use of a burin, or cold chisel, and although he was adept at engraving, partly engraving numerous plates, the freedom of his etching was fundamental to the work that he produced.
Belshazzar’s Feast
Belshazzar’s Feast is a c1635 oil on canvas painting by Dutch Golden Age master Rembrandt van Rijn that was created a few years after he first arrived in Amsterdam. The subject matter is the biblical story about the Babylonian ruler Belshazzar. As the story from the Old Testament Book of Daniel goes, Belshazzar was the son of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (although scholars believe that this claim may be a factual inaccuracy in the Book of Daniel), and after succeeding him as king he threw a feast for 1,000 of his lords. At this eponymous feast he demanded that he be brought the gold and silver drinking vessels that his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, and as Daniel’s text says, “and the king, and his princes, and his wives, and his concubines drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster wall of the king’s palace … Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.”
