Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages Beside a Road

Date1650
Maker Rembrandt van Rijn Dutch, 1606-1669
Label TextRembrandt seldom depicted contemporary Amsterdam, favoring the rustic scenes he encountered during frequent sketching trips to the Dutch countryside. These unassuming cottages were a short barge right from the richest capital in Europe, yet seem worlds away. Rembrandt's preference for the artfully distressed over the grandiose in his landscapes suggests a fondness for a rural way of life that was vanishing from the increasingly urban Dutch Republic.
