THE HAGUE, Dec 9 — A sketch that has lain hidden for centuries under the thick layers of paint Rembrandt applied to create “The Night Watch” offers new insight into the Dutch master’s creative process, museum officials said Wednesday.
“On the sketch, the feathers are clearly visible, on the painting not,” said Pieter Roelofs, the Amsterdam museum’s head of paintings. “ At Wednesday’s news conference, the Rijksmuseum unveiled the findings of a first phase of the project aimed at understanding the artist’s technique as well as restoring the massive work to its original brilliance.
Thanks to a reconstruction based on a small 17th-century copy, the missing sections were restored to the work using artificial intelligence earlier this year. In the next phase, which kicks off on January 19, experts will study deformations in the painting’s upper left corner.“In many areas the paint is still in an excellent state,” the museum said in a press release, adding that other areas “are in poor repair... It is more than likely... that the removal of varnish in the past led to the dissolving of paint at some locations.”
