Landscape with a Stone Bridge
View through Europeana Collections
Rembrandt painted only a few landscapes, mostly imaginary mountain scenes. Although The Stone Bridge
is composed of elements studied from reality, it probably does not represent a specific place. The painting’s
magical quality derives from its dramatic illumination: a beam of sunlight breaks through the clouds, making
the approaching storm seem twice as menacing.
