Rembrandt Three Trees Charcoal Study (2015)
Charcoal on paper. By: NGUYEN, Nathan
The artist attended one creative arts course during his high school education years and
was tasked with either creating a clay piece or recreating a piece made by a master. The
artist chose this Rembrandt piece because of its relative simplicity yet intricate
attention to detail. The depiction of shadows and dark figures in the distance made this
a worthy challenge to recreate. Together, the three trees stand in an otherwise empty
landscape. They are together, yet alone. A dark cloud appears to have manifested in the
sky, but does little to block the otherwise bright sky in the background.
