Christ Appearing to the Apostles
Rembrandt often varied the degree to which he finished a composition. Sometimes he went into exceptionally fine detail, as if the print were a painting; at other times he hardly allowed himself more than a few outlines. In this representation of Christ appearing to the Apostles after his resurrection, the absence of detail emphasizes the glow of heavenly light that envelopes the scene.
