`Rembrandt was a supreme master of landscape drawing whose extraordinary draftsmanship imbued his work with a vitality and power that few artists ever achieve. The faultless brush work (River with Trees on Its Embankment at Dusk) and exquisite chiaroscuros brimming with the fullness of nature (House Among Trees on the Bank of a River) are the subtlest and perhaps most intriguing product of his rich and extensive career.

This excellent volume displays in sharp, quality reproductions 60 authentic landscapes chosen from the great facsimile edition of Rembrandt`s drawings. Arranged in chronological order, these compositions are works in pen, brush, bistre, ink, chalk, and various washes.

Free and spontaneous in both design and technique, these drawings attest to the artist`s intimate and loving appreciation of nature`s grandeur. For Rembrandt, the Dutch countryside was a lifelong source of inspiration. Returning repeatedly to the same sites (View over the Omval, A Cottage and Barn Surrounded by Trees, Farm Amidst Trees, View of Diemen), he explored the varying nuances of atmosphere, light and shadow, and was able to portray the great spaciousness of the landscape (The Bend of the Amstel River near Kostverloren Castle) with a few economic yet sensitive touches of the pen and an ingenious use of paper. These drawings with their uncannily deft washes and vigorous strokes document Rembrandt`s brilliant directness, unsparing observation, and amazing ability to capture the impression of a passing moment.`
