Night Watch

What happened that night?
Night Watch is one of the most famous paintings by Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn(1606-1669). However, the name of the painting is misunderstanding to the people. Many people mistakenly think the scene is in the night due to the painting itself being darkened with age and changed in color. In fact, it depicted a daytime scene.

《夜巡》這幅名畫,發生了什麼事?為什麼夜晚要集合軍隊?

實際上,荷蘭畫家林布蘭(倫勃朗)描繪的是白天的景像。
由於,這幅畫的顏色隨著環境和時間變化,導致光線和色彩變暗,讓後人誤以為是夜晚,因此取名為《夜巡》。

New look!
Night Watch looks like a day scene after revamping. The painting has been on display in Netherlands since 2011.

《夜巡》經過修復後的新面貌,場景終於變為白天,2011年起在荷蘭展出。
