'Original copy' of the Night Watch

ARNHEM - Rembrandt's Night Watch has changed hands. So, although not the original painting, it is the exceptionally fine replica with the original dimensions of the real painting. The work hung in a hall at a company in Duiven and now goes for the dear sum of 23,000 euros to the new Arnhem owner Henk Wim Lijftogt.
 
Lijftogt is very gilded with his special acquisition. It was an exciting bid at auction house Derksen in Arnhem. Bids were made from the hall and also online. The relief was great for Lijftocht when the hammer fell after his last bid, because the rack was almost out for him. And it is not an impulse purchase, because he also has a nice location for it. The painting goes to a monastery that has Lijftocht, just below the French town of Nancy. The painting must be shown to its full advantage there.
