"From $15,000 to $18 Million: The Astonishing Discovery of a Rembrandt Masterpiece"

A painting initially valued at $15,000 has been identified as an autograph work by Rembrandt and is now expected to sell for up to $18 million at auction. Titled "The Adoration of the Kings," the painting was acquired in 1955 and remained unseen until it was sold by Christie's in 2019. Sotheby's conducted an 18-month research project, including x-rays and infrared imaging, to confirm its attribution. The painting, depicting the encounter between the Three Wise Men and baby Jesus, is considered a rare and significant find, shedding light on Rembrandt's early career. It will be auctioned on December 6.

"Lost Rembrandt Painting Surfaces, Estimated to Fetch £15m at Sotheby's Auction"

Sotheby's London will auction a painting attributed to the Circle of Rembrandt, which has now been reattributed as a genuine work by the Dutch master. The painting, titled "The Adoration of the Kings," is estimated to fetch £10m to £15m. The artwork, painted during Rembrandt's early years in Leiden, exhibits his signature style and underwent an 18-month research project for reattribution. Sotheby's estimate is based on recent sales of Rembrandt works, including a self-portrait that sold for £14.5m in 2020. Christie's holds the current auction record for Rembrandt, set in 2009 at €23.2m.

The Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam has turned one of its rooms into a tattoo parlor for a week-long residency called "A Poor Man's Rembrandt," featuring famous Dutch tattoo artist Henk Schiffmaker and other top Amsterdam tattoo artists. Visitors can get their own permanent reminder of Rembrandt by having his sketches inked onto their skin for between €50 and €250. Schiffmaker and his colleagues have adapted some of Rembrandt's sketches to make them suitable for tattooing. All appointments available online were filled within 10 minutes, but there are still some slots available for people who walk into the museum and wait their turn.
