Here’s an overview of your tour

In this tour we will explore different aspects of Rembrandt's & Vermeer's life and work. I'll show you where their art comes from and what kind of inspirational source they have. All the masterpieces like 'the Milkmaid', 'Jewish Bride' and 'the Night Watch' are passing by. Later in life Rembrandt used a coarser experimental technique, applying ingenious colour and light effects to further enhance the narrative and draw out its essence. That's very interesting, 'The Night Watch' is under construction in the room! She is in a glass box and you can experience what restorers do with her.
