The Three Trees is a 1643 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet scene with three dark trees standing by a river. Above them, the sky is full of swirling clouds, while in the distance, a small town sits on a hill. The water below is calm, with a few tiny figures walking along the shore. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth, especially in the trees and sky. This style was a way to show light and shadow in a dramatic way. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists like Rembrandt made prints like this.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
