"Landscape with an Obelisk" is an oil on panel painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Govert Flinck, but for a long time, it was attributed to his mentor, Rembrandt van Rijn. The painting, which measures 54.5 by 71 cm, is currently housed in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. It was created in 1638 during a period when Flinck was heavily influenced by Rembrandt's style, which explains the initial misattribution.

The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with an obelisk at its center. The landscape is rendered with a dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that is characteristic of Rembrandt's work and was emulated by his pupils. The obelisk, which is not an Egyptian monument but rather a fanciful creation by the artist, stands amidst classical ruins, suggesting a setting that evokes the grandeur of antiquity. This inclusion of classical elements is typical of the Northern European Baroque period, reflecting a fascination with the ancient world.

The painting's provenance includes a notable theft: it was one of the thirteen artworks stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, in what is considered one of the most infamous art heists in history. Despite the painting's return to the museum's collection, the theft contributes to its historical significance and notoriety.

"Landscape with an Obelisk" is an important work in the oeuvre of Govert Flinck, as it exemplifies the transition of Dutch landscape painting in the 17th century and the enduring influence of Rembrandt's artistic vision. The painting is also a testament to the complexities of art attribution and the evolving understanding of art history.
