'The Three Trees', 1643. The three trees are buffeted by gusts of wind and rise in a burst of sunlight against a sky of rapidly moving clouds. On the left, a standing fisherman watches the end of his line, while his wife waits with a lunch basket. Above them, cows, horses and people are scattered in the sunlit fields, beyond which the towers of the distant city almost vanish in a squall of rain. On the near right, two lovers can be glimpsed in the undergrowth. A wagon on the brow of the hill approaches a seated artist, who sketches the view that is out of our sight. Behind the trunks of the three trees, some cottages shelter in the hollow of the hill, while far above them a flock of birds soars high in the sky.This atmospheric print is widely regarded as Rembrandt's greatest as well as his most elaborate landscape etching.
