The snipped pieces were lost. Since the 19th century, the trimmed painting has been housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it is displayed as the museum\u2019s centerpiece, at the focal point of its Gallery of Honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, from Wednesday \u2014 for the first time in more than three centuries \u2014 it will be possible for the public to see the painting \u201cnearly as it was intended,\u201d said the museum\u2019s director, Taco Dibbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using new high-tech methods, including scanning technologies and artificial intelligence, the museum has reconstructed those severed parts and hung them next to the original, to give an idea of \u201cThe Night Watch\u201d as Rembrandt intended it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cutdown painting is about 15 feet wide by 13 feet high. About two feet from the left of the canvas was shaved off, and another nine inches from the top. Lesser damage was done to the bottom, which lost about five inches, and the right side, which lost three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporarily restoring these parts will give visitors a glimpse of what had been lost: three figures on the left-hand side (two men and a boy) and, more important, a feel for Rembrandt\u2019s meticulous construction in the work\u2019s composition. With the missing pieces, the original dynamism of the masterpiece is stirred back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/dnyuz.com\/2021\/06\/23\/rembrandts-damaged-masterpiece-is-whole-again-with-a-i-s-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at DNYUZ<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from NYT via DNYUZ Rembrandt\u2019s Damaged Masterpiece Is Whole Again, With A.I.\u2019s Help AMSTERDAM \u2014 Rembrandt\u2019s \u201cThe Night Watch\u201d has been a national icon in the Netherlands ever since it was painted in 1642, but even that didn\u2019t protect it.
