Gene Higgins examines the life and artistic legacy of the Dutch painter Rembrandt, exploring his massive engagement with the Bible and its profound influence on his work. He considers Rembrandt's background in Leiden, his training under historical painters, and his extraordinary output of paintings and etchings that focused primarily on biblical subjects despite the prevailing artistic trends of 17th-century Dutch art. He addresses Rembrandt's depiction of profound human emotion and divine themes, highlighting key works such as Christ Healing the Sick (also known as the Hundred Guilder print), and examines the artist's personal sorrows, his close association with Mennonite lay movements, and his theological reflection on forgiveness through biblical narratives like the parable of the prodigal son.
