Landscape with a Square Tower is a 1650 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village with thatched-roof houses nestled in a hilly landscape. A tall, square tower with arched windows looms in the background, surrounded by trees. The ground is rough with grass and rocks, and a lone figure sits near the bottom right, small against the scene. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow, giving the scene a soft, almost dreamy feel. This is one of Rembrandt’s many landscape etchings, where he focused on everyday life and nature. Next, check out how etching works to see how artists like Rembrandt made these detailed prints.
