The Art Institute of Chicago: “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.” This probably looks very close to the original impressions Rembrandt pulled off his press 370 years ago, which is to say, richer with quite delicate passages and a greater variety of tones than what we see in most museums and private collections today. Compare this to impressions from the original plate at major museums hosting their collections online.
