Christ Presented to the People (dry point (print); Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, 1606–1669) ; 1655; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 41.1.36; )

Note: Rembrandt treated this large drypoint almost as a painting, making marked changes to the composition as he reconceived the scene over and over. In the sixth state of the print, he removed much of the original crowd that stood directly below the main event and replaced it with two brick arches over an unidentified chasm. Between the arches he also added a sculpted male figure, lightly covered over in this, the final, state. The changes serve to thrust the viewer into direct confrontation with Christ's fate.
