The Mill ☰ Rembrandt ☶ Art Print
The Mill (1648) by Rembrandt van Rijn is his largest landscape, and only recently discovered, in that it was misattributed to other artists for centuries. Prior to restoration in 1977, the painting was covered in heavy layers of varnish that obscured detail and gave it a dark, golden tone, as well as obstructed the investigation needed for proper attribution. It depicts a windmill under a stormy sky, overlooking a river where a man rows a boat, a woman is washing clothes, and a woman and child walk down a path to the bank. Trees on the far bank are reflected in the water, as the storm clouds transition to a bright blue sky. It is suggested that Rembrandt based this scene on his father’s mill outside Leiden, portraying it as a guardian, protecting the land and its people.

Art prints are created from a giclée print on archival heavyweight paper that can be mounted in a frame. Different paper finishes allow you to customize the appearance: smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish. Framed prints do not come with protective glass / glazing, to showcase the paper and reduce light reflection (it is available upon request).
