De stenen brug (easel painting (painting by form); Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Leiden 1606-07-15 - Amsterdam ...; 1638; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-A-1935; RM001.collect.5219)

Note: Clouds are gathering above a river. A bright flash of light illuminates the landscape. Beneath the threatening clouds a few insignificant figures are finding their way. On the left some people are climbing out of a wagon to seek refuge in the tavern, while in the foreground a boat is punted towards the river bank. On the left of the bridge, a man is plodding along in spite of the imminent storm. The light shines on his back. Although Rembrandt often went out into the landscape to draw, he painted very few landscapes. Those he did paint were usually mountainous, imaginary landscapes in the style of Hercules Segers. This dramatic Dutch landscape with a strong use of chiaroscuro is therefore unique in Rembrandt's oeuvre.
