OverviewAlways recognised as a master print from the moment of its appearance around 1649, the Hundred Guilder Print is one of Rembrandt's most compositionally complex and visually beautiful works. This book gives a full overview of the fascinating story surrounding this print, from its genesis and market value to attitudes towards it in the present day. Focusing on the tradition of printmaking as well as the reception of the print in Rembrandt's time, Golahny explores the ways the artist made visual references to the work of such masters as Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci, while uniquely combining aspects of Christ's ministry. Placing the work within its wider cultural and historical context, Rembrandt's Hundred Guilder Print offers an original and engaging approach to current Rembrandt scholarship and is essential reading for anyone interested in the work of one of the most famous artists of the Dutch Global Age.

In particular, the text would serve well as thought-provoking reading for college students and for anyone interested in studying art through the lenses of microeconomics and marketing, or with an eye to broader sociological analyses of fame and ‘viral imagery’. Golahny’s text makes amply evident what print scholars know so well: the intrinsic interdisciplinary appeal of prints, many of which are worthy of dedicated volumes like this one.’ – Joanna Sheers Seidenstein, Print Quarterly Author InformationAmy Golahny is an art historian and writer.
