About the Item
This piece is from a collection of originally designed etchings with drypoints by Rembrandt. It is printed on Ingres D'arches off-white laid paper. The prints are the sixth and final state Posthumous Impression. Printing plates were made in 1650, this collection was printed in 1998.
Rembrandt van Rijn was one of the masters of the landscape genre in his prints and drawings. In his etching, "Landscape with a Cow," from 1650, the artist transplants a Dutch farmhouse into an imaginary mountainous setting. In this posthumous state of the etching, there is a craggy mountain on the left-hand side. The mountain rears up on the left, and the farmhouse seems to lean into it. While Dutch artists were known for their close observation of nature, according to Cynthia Schneider, "their paintings [and other works] were the result of a careful process of selection, modification, and combination of motifs." "Landscape with a Cow" is one of what scholar Schneider calls Rembrandt's "imaginary landscapes, which date from the late 1640s to the early 1650s." She goes on to say that the artist "invented not only the rough terrain in the background of the print, but also the trees and stream, creating a new, partially Dutch, partially imaginary environment for the farmhouse. In the process, he so successfully integrated the realistic and fantastic elements that one looks twice before realizing how improbable a scene it is. the farmhouse fits comfortably into the shadow of the cliff, which is treated by Rembrandt as if it were a commonplace on the Dutch polder."

Rembrandt van Rijn
Rembrandt was the most influential 17th Century Dutch painter. After years of early success as a portrait painter, his life was beset by financial hardship and personal tragedy. He continued to paint portraits and develop etchings. Rembrandt's portraits of his contemporaries, self-portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible are regarded as his greatest creative triumphs. His self-portraits form a unique and intimate autobiography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such as Jan Vermeer of Delft, Rembrandt was also an avid art collector and dealer. Rembrandt never went abroad, but he was considerably influenced by the work of the Italian masters and Netherlandish artists who had studied in Italy, like Pieter Lastman, the Utrecht Caravaggists, Flemish Baroque, and Peter Paul Rubens. Rembrandt's foremost contribution in the history of printmaking was his transformation of the etching process from a relatively new reproductive technique into a true art form, along with Jacques Callot. His reputation as the greatest etcher in the history of the medium was established in his lifetime and never questioned since. Few of his paintings left the Dutch Republic while he lived, but his prints were circulated throughout Europe, and his wider reputation was initially based on them alone.
