The Cornfield (Rembrandt Manner)

Prints and Drawings

1764

Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich (German, 1712-1774)
after Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669)

Dietrich’s landscapes and paintings in the style of Rembrandt (Dutch, 1606-1669) were particularly admired. This impression, executed with very few lines, combines Rembrandt’s sensitivity to the peasants in the field with his use of plate tone, suggesting the details of atmospheric conditions.
