Landscape with the House with the Little Tower

About Landscape with the House with the Little Tower

Rembrandt's Landscape with the House with the Little Tower, dating to around 1651, is a drawing rather than an oil painting. Buildings and trees emerge through economical marks, leaving much of the page open. The Getty work demonstrates how a limited range of tones can still suggest distance, weather and a lived-in landscape.

Compare the darkest marks with the lightly indicated distant forms. Look at how areas of untouched paper contribute to the sense of light.
