Visitors eager to catch a glimpse of Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” at the
Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam may be surprised to find the large oil painting looking
more like a work in progress than a masterpiece that was completed in 1642. On
Tuesday, conservators — equipped with masks, gloves, brushes and scaffolding —
began a long-anticipated restoration of the work, a process that would usually
take place behind the scenes but that the Rijksmuseum is putting on full display
to the public.
