The Night Watch

[charisstoma]

The Rijks museum in Holland had an idea: Let's bring the art to the people and then, hopefully, they will come to see more - at the museum. They took one Rembrandt painting from 1642, Night Watch and brought to life the characters in it, placed them in a busy mall and the rest you can see for yourself!

That's a fun way to get people interested.

That's a very famous painting. It also has two movies about it. One that's all the conspiracies that came out in the painting (The way the shadow of the the front guy's hand falls across the guy in gold's crotch means they were sleeping together or at least lust and who exactly the little girl is. With the Bilbo/Watson actor as the artist) and the other a more historical view of the pictures which pretty much debunks the reasons the artist would be angry enough to put conspiracies in it in the first place. I saw a video about them by some guy who had spent his childhood in the Netherlands.

Interesting. I see some Goggling in my future about this painting then.
