Antonie WATERLOO.
Painter and etcher: b. 1609, d. after 1676: worked at Leyden and
Amsterdam: celebrated for his very numerous etchings of landscapes.
37Q.View of Utrecht.

371. Landscape: with a village among trees, a stream, and
anglers.

By his date Beerstraaten belongs to a generation later than the men in
whose company he is placed: and this good example of his work stands where
it does not so much on historical grounds as on those of convenience and
decorative fitness.
Antonie BEERSTRAATEN.

374fView of a Dutch town and church.
Blacklead pencil and red chalk and with indian-ink wash.

(B.M.).
The examples of Rembrandt which now follow (nos. 375-385) illustrate fairly
but not brilliantly some of the various methods of that great master in drawing
and sketching from nature or from imagination. He is unrivalled in the power
of seizing in a few broad and rapid, careless-seeming, and sometimes coarse-
seeming, strokes, the gesture and dramatic movement of life, or the salient and
vital points of landscape with its planes, distances, and atmosphere. His
favourite instrument is the brush, sometimes the quill, for drawing and shading
in sepia; a smaller number of his drawings are in black or red chalk, and fewer
still in silver-point. The specimens here given are taken exclusively from the
Malcolm collection: it being proposed at some future time to make a separate
exhibition of the very extensive Museum collections both of etchings and
drawings by the master.

native rendering of common human nature : worked at Leyden and
