About the work
Throughout his lengthy career, Rembrandt carefully meted out his prints so as to create a profitable market for them. The popular genres of the day influenced his printmaking choices, and he produced numerous landscape views of his surroundings in Amsterdam and beyond. The artist probably created Landscape with a Square Tower after sketches made from life, etching and finishing the work with softer drypoint touches in the studio.
