The Three Crosses

Prints and Drawings

The Three Crosses is a 1653 print in etching and drypoint by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Unlike most of Rembrandt's prints, which are chiefly etchings, this one is worked mainly in drypoint with burin adjustments from its third state onward, and it is regarded as one of the most dynamic prints he ever made.
