Landscape with Arched Bridge is a circa 1637-1638 landscape painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[1]

Painting

This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1915, who wrote:

11+1⁄2 inches by 16 inches. Mentioned by Vosmaer, pp. 310, 534; Bode, pp. 492, 574; Dutuit, p. 51; Michel, p. 314, 554 [239, 439]; Bode, Oldenburg Gallery, p. 34; Bredius and Schmidt Degener, Oldenburg Gallery, p. 13.
In the Oldenburg Gallery, 1890 catalogue, No. 197; bought in 1801"[2]

The picture was purchased a decade later for the museum by Bode himself as curator in 1924 when the Duke's Oldenburg Gallery was sold. It is the same size and manner of The Stone Bridge of the Rijksmuseum and was long considered a later copy by Rembrandt pupil Govert Flinck but a recent dendrochronological study has shown that the Berlin panel predates the Amsterdam panel, dismissing the idea it could be a copy.[3]
