"Landscape with an Arched Bridge," Rembrandt, c. 1638.
Rembrandt! I don't know if I've featured Rembrandt here before, and if I haven't, it's about bloody time. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is considered one of the greatest visual artists of all time, and certainly one of the best of the Dutch Golden Age.
This particular image has been the subject of controversy for about a century. It was originally believed to have been the work of one of Rembrandt's students, Govert Flinck. Debate, and the judgement of art experts, has swung back and forth until conclusive analysis showed it definitely was Rembrandt's work.
The light hitting those trees, and the whole of it, makes me think "early autumn." The sun is low in the sky, and dark storm clouds are gathering...watch out!
From the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.
