Rembrandt

A selfportrait of the world famous painter Rembrandt in the City archive in Amsterdam. He was an inhabitant of Amsterdam and the city archive has many documents about his life which are exhibited now. With the newest techniques as augmented reality (AR) the original documents are made accessible with image and sound and digital illustrated with artpieces from over the world.
Maybe I am to old for the modern way, it makes me very nervous to handle all those attributes with I-pads and headphones. in a public room. I liked to watch the precious original old handwritten documents from the 17th century in thick books and admired the people who worked with pen and ink all day long to give us after all those centuries an inside view of someones life as his mariages, his loss of his wife Saskia, his depts and alligations of dishonorable behaviour when painting a woman with bare shoulders!

  1. I like his paintings. I do not recall reading about some of those details. I have a book about his paintings.... maybe I should read it again.

  2. Seems there is a lot I do not know about him. Things are changing so fast that we feel the same . You even have to sign in at my Drs. Office by iPad. I feel sorry for some older folks that are not members of the new tech society!

  3. I just heard a story on the radio this morning about an exhibit at the National Gallery in Washington DC that is all about artist's self portraits. This post reminded me of that. This exhibit also sounds very interesting.

  5. Ik vind het wel fijn om via een koptelefoon informatie te krijgen bij een schilderij of ander item in een museum. Net of het dan beter blijft hangen. 😄

  6. We've got a couple of his works here. I've always liked his style.

    You have to sign in with one of those ipads here when you donate blood.
