Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages beside a Road Artist: Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, 1606–1669)

1650

Prints and Drawings

By appointment, Duffy Study Room

Unlike the artists of his day, Rembrandt did not create his landscape etchings as a series in the traditional sense. They were all made during a brief period of his career and reflect his wanderings in the marshy environs around Amsterdam. The etchings are similar in that they are populated by windmills, farmlands, and cottages (inv. nos. 1925.112, 1925.114, and 1925.131). These etched landscapes combine Rembrandt’s lived reality with his imaginings of an old-fashioned Dutch idyll.
