About this work
This is the largest and most painterly landscape that Rembrandt ever etched. The low-lying sun shining from the right enhances the dramatic effect, as does the thunderstorm clearing at the left. The location of this scene is not clear, and Rembrandt may have invented it in part on the spot; the trees, however, most certainly lined a dike along the Zuiderzee.
