Rembrandt's Etching Technique: An Example

"Rembrandt's Etching Technique: An Example" by Peter Morse is a study of the famous artist's printmaking methods. The writing looks closely at Rembrandt van Rijn's etching, "Landscape with a hay barn and a flock of sheep," made in 1650. It shows how Rembrandt mixed etching and drypoint to make his art clear and deep. Morse writes about how Rembrandt planned his work, including the sketches he made before the final print, to show that the artist used care and thought in his work. The writing also considers the materials Rembrandt used, like the copper plates, and talks about the artist's life when he made the print, proving that Rembrandt was a master because he knew his craft well.
