Head of Christ by Rembrandt - Portrait of Jesus Christ - Print - Christian Art - Catholic Gifts - Archival Print in Three Sizes

Rembrandt was the famous "artist of light," who illuminated many subjects, including Jesus and the saints. This face of Christ, the Light of the World, was one of several that Rembrandt did that looked similar. This particular one is called the Philadelphia panel and is our favorite of the group. Purportedly, this was the one that Rembrandt kept in his bedroom the last years of his life. Painted around 1650, it resides in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

We have done some restoration to the print, which had several long lines where the paint had been lost which looked like creased canvas folds, but we have left a number of the little chips and flakes to retain that period look.

We offer this image in three sizes.

PLEASE NOTE: Each of the 3 sizes indicates OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS. There is a border of white left around the image, ranging from about one and a third inch on the small prints to about one and two thirds on the medium and a little more on the large.

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.

- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer

- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks!
