Description

Date: 1642
The State Museum in Amsterdam is home to Rembrandt's most well-known painting, which is hailed as one of the most famous works of art in the entire world. The picture was covered in a thick layer of varnish for a large portion of its lifetime, giving the impression that it was a night scene and giving rise to its name. In 1940, the varnish was stripped off, exposing the vivid colors of the painting. Art traders cut the picture down on three sides in 1715 so that it would fit between two columns, and vandals purposefully sought to destroy the painting, both of which caused damage to it.
