Vision of Zacharias in the Temple (1633)

Researchers at the Rijksmuseum have demonstrated that the painting Vision of Zacharias in the Temple (1633) was made by Rembrandt. They examined the work with the same advanced techniques used in Operation Night Watch, and closely compared it with other paintings by Rembrandt from the same period. Materials analysis, stylistic and thematic similarities, alterations made by Rembrandt, and the overall quality of the painting all support the conclusion that this painting is a genuine work by Rembrandt van Rijn. The work is on long-term loan to the Rijksmuseum from a private collector and will be on view to the public from Wednesday 4 March.
