Rembrandt's at Lafragua Lady of Sorrows (Mater dolorosa)

Rembrandt's religious etchings: This selection includes some samples of the Dutch painter using the chiaroscuro technique that he used in many other paintings of biblical scenes and characters (both Old and New Testament) and a few representations of Saint Jerome. The religious subject in Rembrandt’s artistic production is both significant and exceptional, since this type of work was unusual in protestant Holland of the 17th Century.
