How to Restore a Rembrandt

It takes more than good chemistry

The Nightwatch, or Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq (1642).

Thepaintimg depicts Captain Frans Banninck Cocq in black with a red sash, striding forward and gesturing with his left hand, while Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch in bright yellow and white walks beside him. They lead a lively company of Amsterdam civic guards, all armed and in motion.

Rembrandt breaks from the static formality of traditional militia portraits by showing the men mid-action: muskets being loaded and fired, flags waving, a drummer beating time, and a dog barking. The scene is dramatically lit with golden light piercing deep shadow, creating strong contrasts and directing the viewer’s attention to key figures.

In the midst of the bustle, a mysterious girl in a golden dress — symbolically linked to the company’s emblem — stands illuminated, carrying a chicken with claws visible at her belt.

Alright officially finished!

Quite like how it turned out. Will keep pushing further on the more abstract color and brushwork that I was doing in this one. It feels very lively I think. Seems like there's a lot of room for creativity there.

How did the only painting sold by Van Gogh in his lifetime end up in Russia?

The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888. It depicts workers in a vineyard, and it is the only painting known by name that Van Gogh sold in his lifetime.

As urgent and relevant today as it ever was': The radical manifesto hidden in Georges Seurat's 1884 masterpiece

Georges Seurat's once-mocked painting Bathers at Asnières is both an "exquisite distillation of the very essence of summer" and "a modern wonder in the art of seeing".

Baigneurs a Asnières.

Bathers at Asnières is an 1884 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Georges Pierre Seurat, the first of his two masterpieces on the monumental scale.

The canvas is of a suburban, placid Parisian riverside scene. Isolated figures, with their clothes piled sculpturally on the riverbank, together with trees, austere boundary walls and buildings, and the River Seine are presented in a formal layout.

On the terrace at Sèvres (1880)

by Marie Bracquemond

The scene is set on a sunlit terrace in Sèvres, where two fashionably dressed women are seated at a white wrought-iron table. One woman, wearing a flowing white dress, leans forward slightly, gazing out over the terrace rail toward the view beyond. The other, in a darker gown with a bonnet, sits across from her, more withdrawn in posture.

Behind the figures, the terrace overlooks a landscape bathed in soft light, with trees and sky dissolving into shimmering Impressionist brushwork.

Soft, silent, serene -- guiding his lone boat through a quiet canal in Venice, a gondolier and his passenger travel through the timeless and historical waters of Venice, Italy.

A hint of mist embraces both buildings and bridges, adding a touch of magic to an already magical place.
