The restoration work is expected to take place in one month. Experts will work inside a specially designed glass room. Currently, they are assessing the condition of the painting.
The work was painted in 1642 and underwent its final restoration 40 years ago, after being tormented by a man carrying a knife. Currently, the painting is showing signs of graying in some places, so restoration work needs to be carried out.
The glass room has been officially set up for experts to work inside since Monday, modern technologies will be put into use. Art lovers around the world can follow this project through updates on the Internet.
This is the first time we have really completely restored the work and will be able to understand more about the work not only through a few samples taken for testing but also by being able to conduct research on the entire work based on the most advanced technologies today.
We still dont know much about how rembrandt made this work. Now, we hope to be able to understand more about his work, said Rijksm Museum Director Taco Dibbits.
Every year, more than 2 million visitors visit the Rijksm Museum, which houses the world's largest collection of Rembrandt paintings. Rembrandt's painting is known for its creative use of lighting and new, innovative layouts.
Rembrandt is one of the greatest painters in world painting and an important figure in the history of Dutch painting. At the beginning of his career, he painted small paintings but contained a lot of detail. Later, he used the special light in his works, to occupy large paintings to depict shadows and move on to creating large works.
Starting in 1628, Rembrandt received students and instructed about 50 students. It is thought that Rembrandt's decline in the later stages of his career was due to his wife's death and the criticism of the "Night's Night" from those who ordered him to make the work.
