I have stood before Rembrandt’s NIGHTWATCH and it is truly astounding.
I did as well. What was also amazing to me was the miniature copy of it in the adjacent room. It revealed that the original was larger and much brighter.
The original was moved it’s first location and they trimmed both the right and left side in order to fit it into a smaller location.
The copy was much lighter showing details that the original lost due to an accumulation of filth (essentially air pollution) over the years.
I haven’t watched this video but I will do that soon.
