EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning landscape with a country lane and charming cottages, etched by the talented Benjamin Wilson in 1751. The original work was actually created by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, one of history's most renowned artists. This particular print is part of a private collection and holds an intriguing story behind it. Interestingly, this etching was mistakenly sold as an authentic Rembrandt to one of the greatest connoisseurs for just six shillings on April 17th, 1751. The inscription on the print reveals that it is indeed a proofprint from Wilson's own design and etching. Benjamin Wilson himself was a British printmaker known for his exceptional skills in replicating famous artworks. Although this piece may be considered fake or reproduction due to its misattribution, it still captures the essence of Dutch countryside beauty that Rembrandt often depicted in his works. The idyllic view portrayed here transports viewers to another time and place, immersing them in the tranquility of rural Holland. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even within art forgery lies intrigue and appreciation for craftsmanship across different eras.
