(The exhibit also consists of a number of portraits, fashion items and props made for the shoot.Īs one can imagine, finding people that captured the likeness of each man in the Night Watch painting was itself an arduous task-but perhaps nothing was quite as tricky as recreating each of their outfits in real life. Behind the scenes, Rooymans and Ubbink have put a ton of work into the project, finding 25 lookalikes for each of the members of the Night Watch (as well as Rembrandt), styling them to match the attributes and details of the painting and then photographing them to recreate the pose of the original painting. The project, entitled “Nachtwacht 360,” is currently being exhibited in Amsterdam and consists of a photographic replica of the original Night Watch. Now, thanks to a project by photographer Julius Rooymans and fashion designer Hans Ubbink, there is an entirely new way to experience the famed 17th century artwork. Actually, perhaps “come across” is the wrong term, as most people bee-line to see the canvas-not only impressive for its massive scale but also for its captivating details. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to walk the many halls of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, you’ll likely have come across the famous “The Night Watch” painting (1642) by Dutch artist Rembrandt.
