Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages beside a Road

Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1650

Rembrandt saw these cottages southwest of Amsterdam, along the Schinkelweg, furrowed with cart tracks. He was chiefly impressed by their fronts, for he drew the wooden gables as inordinately large. It did not matter to him whether everything was topographically correct. The houses in the distance are a fairly free interpretation of the actual situation at this site.
