Europe
Buying Antique Art
The Netherlands government says it is planning to buy an iconic self-portrait of the 17th Century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn.
It is seeking parliamentary approval for the purchase of the Standard Bearer, a work seen as hugely important for Dutch culture and history.
The 1636 masterpiece has been owned by private collectors, including the Rothschilds for centuries.
It will go on tour before being displayed in Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum.
A Wild Thought
I intend to recycle my unused drawing sheets with trodden mud, black paint spatter, Splish and finally bite on all four corner sheets to leave my teeth impression. Next, check on historical sites by painting them with figures that went neglected in appreciation. I know I need to make lots of them on declaring an auction. Art is one thing people emotionally spend blindly. If said it was positioned in the bathroom of Monalisa, Hitler while masturbating, used to dart at this painting, or Napoleon Bonaparte used to measure his height to this painting until his end, he kept thinking height honors extending throughout life.
