DESCRIPTION:
The works in the volume reveal Rembrandt's deep understanding of all the moods of the Dutch countryside.. Both convey the look and feel of the Dutch countryside in a variety of ways, ranging from cursory yet evocative sketches to complex, highly finished compositions. Rembrandt dominated Holland's Golden Age of painting. Although landscape was not his primary interest, his drawings and prints have endured as archetypes of Dutch landscape
"Nice book of Rembrant's landscapes" according to Subee. This book of Rembrandt drawings shows different subject categories including Farmhouses and Cottages, Town Views and Architecture, Panoramas and "along the Amstel and IJ Rivers". They are interesting to study and give a good feel for the Dutch landscape.Most pictures are black and white with a few brown ink and wash drawings.I'm glad that I purchased this book.
