More about this artwork

We warmly invite you to delve into the delicately rendered world of Rembrandt van Rijn's ink drawing, "A Sailing Boat on a Wide Expanse of Water," created in 1650. This evocative piece showcases Rembrandt’s mastery in capturing the serene vastness of a natural landscape juxtaposed with human activity.The artwork delineates a broad, calm stretch of water, broken only by the slim, graceful form of a sailing boat at its center. This central boat, drawn with precise, confident strokes, is complemented by smaller sketches of distant boats scattered along the horizon, suggesting the quiet bustle of a day on the water. The foreground features a roughly textured bank, its wildness contrasting with the smooth openness of the water.Rembrandt's choice of earthy tones and sparse yet effective use of line work creates a composition that speaks both of tranquility and a timeless, dynamic interaction between humanity and the natural world. This drawing is not just a visual treat but also an invitation to ponder the quiet moments of beauty in our daily surroundings.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies.
