Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages Beside a Road

Prints and Drawings

1650

Rembrandt van Rijn
Dutch, 1606-1669

Perhaps the most prolific etcher in history, Rembrandt van Rijn created nearly 300 etchings. Most of his landscape etchings were done in the 1640s, with a few, such as this one, executed in the early 1650s. Rembrandt used his experimental etched and drypoint lines to create tonal effects. The way that the trees appear to shade the road and cottages adds a calming luminosity to the image.
