Painting of the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn “Stone Bridge” or “Landscape with a stone bridge.” The size of the picture is 29.5 x 42.5 cm, wood, oil. “Diverse, both in execution and in thoughts, Rembrandt depicts everything that is visible under the sun: inanimate objects, landscape, sea, sky, architecture, animals, people from child to old man, from beggar to king, all human comedy, tragedy, history In short, he is the artist of life. ” This universal artistry expresses all the work of the artist, in particular, his art of draftsman. In the highest degree, it expresses his personal attitude towards the world and life around him.
This art, at first not intended for the public, was a kind of transcript of nature, the artist’s thought process and reached full expression in infinite tenderness, in both incomplete and precise language, in deep spirituality of lines, it covered new aspects of reality and opened another world, the world of artwork.
Such a highly dependent on nature, model-related comprehension of reality is self-expression in pure form. In this picture, Rembrandt depicts a small stone bridge, as if connecting not only the coast, but also the plain with the heavens; as if in a random collision of the water surface of the channel and the morning sky, the space of the landscape opens, a space filled with comfort, freshness, breathing with light. In this landscape image of a part of the motherland, in the historical picture or in the portrait – in everything depicted, the artist Rembrandt van Rijn, as it were, releases the flow of life, the rotating flow of being.
