Dutch museum to fix ripples in Rembrandt’s The Night Watch
Rembrandt van Rijn’s iconic painting The Night Watch is to be restretched to get rid of deformations in its top left corner, the Netherlands’ national museum has announced.
The 379.5cm by 453.5cm canvas will be removed from its wooden stretcher next month and placed on a new one to remove rippling that was caused when the world famous painting was housed in a temporary gallery while the Rijksmuseum underwent major renovations from 2003-2013.
