Nightwatch 3D was created 400 years after the world famous artist, Rembrandt, was born in Leiden. It was transported from Moscow to Holland to be part of the celebrations around the Rembrandt year 2006. An ambitious project in bronze, which will bring to life 22 characters from Rembrandt’s painting. This masterpiece was completed by the artist in 1642. The transformation of this two dimensional image into a three dimensional one will add a new reality to the Nightwatch and for the first time make visible the other side of the figures depicted in the most famous of Dutch paintings. This project was conceived and realized by two friends; Mikhail Dronov, of Moscow, and Alexander Taratynov, now living in Maastricht. The above text was copied from http://www.nightwatch3d.com In other words these sculptures cross the border between 2D and 3D. The painter normally stands before his painting. At the Rembrandtsquare in Amsterdam Rembrandt is watching his 'painting' from the back. His statue stands behind the bronze sculptures. Also the viewer crosses the border of the painting. Now the viewer can stand at all sides of the 'painting', even in the 'painting'!
