Strolling down the streets of Amsterdam a luxury I just stumbled across in broad daylight on the "Night Watch". We are not talking about the heroes of the famous contemporary film. This was the famous painting by Rembrandt and at the same time is not quite the picture.

2006 will mark the four years since the birth of a great artist. Grateful countrymen honored his memory by the fact that in the metal to reproduce famous paintings. When I saw her, I could not control myself not to look like the heroes of this composition. I felt almost every fold on a metal clothes guards. I was just in awe. The authors of sculpture recreated virtually every scar on one of the characters in the movie. They recreated the expressions on their faces. They have recreated every detail of the weapons the guards. They recreated the spirit of the picture. This monument to the Dutch give compliments to the artist, and next to the park residents staryutsya spend birthday in nature, weddings or other family events.

Meanwhile, this is the masterpiece, the original of which is exhibited in the museum of Rembrandt, was the beginning of impoverishment of the creator. Razbagatevshy artist received a commission - a portrait company of the city police. At the time, money flowed to the Netherlands not to mention the river, and rivers. The country allowed itself to make orders the most outstanding artists. That Rembrandt relied substantial fee. He did not write a simple portrait of himself that, as we today would say, stupidly praised the heroes, and created a vivid picture of zhizni.Geroi remained unfulfilled - of course, they wanted to see himself as a courageous and fearless guards of civil order. Whatever it was, but after this misunderstanding great Rembrandt received fewer orders because razbagatevshie burzhuaotdayut preference is not a virtuoso, but require that the artists are brightened and ennobled their images. By the end nonechnom Rembrandt died in poverty.

Perhaps Koreans, who created a metal "Night Watch", thus trying to redeem himself in front of an outstanding master. No value. The only pity is that the metal is impossible to recreate and even color tones.
