AMSTERDAM - Rembrandt’s 17th century masterpiece “The Night Watch” begins restoration work on Monday in Amsterdam where visitors will be able to watch every step of the Rijksmuseum’s biggest ever project.That is due not only to the fame of the painting, which dates from 1642, but also to its size, as the canvas measures 3.63 by 4.37 metres and weighs 337 kg .
Painted over several years, “The Night Watch” was commissioned as a group portrait of an Amsterdam city militia and broke new ground by showing its subjects in action rather than as a static portrait.
