Rembrandt’s Nightwatch at the Rijksmuseum

Huge painting with new (at the time) light effects. Painting was actually trimmed at one point to fit in a new location. Did you know Rembrandt was his first name?

The museum, with a temporary Henry Moore sculpture, reopened earlier this year after extensive renovations

Nightwatch is hanging in back, to give you a sense of scale…

One thought on “Rembrandt’s Nightwatch at the Rijksmuseum”

  1. Lucky you. Heard that Night Watch wasn’t so dark after it was cleaned. Seriously, I’d love to see it again – and the Moore too!
