A Ronda da Noite ( De Nachtwacht ) por ... Rembrandt

E que tal começar este livro da Agustina pela história do belíssimo quadro de Rembrandt, De Nachtwacht, que serve de base à capa do livro e é aparentemente um elemento constante ao longo da(s) estória(s) do mesmo?


"It was first hung in the Arquebusier's hall the Kloveniersdoelen in Amsterdam in the 'Groote Zaal', Great Hall. This is now known as the Doelen Hotel. In 1715 it was moved to the Amsterdam town hall, for which it was altered. When Napoleon occupied the Netherlands, the town hall became the Palace on the Dam. The magistrates moved the painting to the Trippenhuis of the family Trip. Napoleon ordered it back, but after the occupation the painting was moved to the Trippenhuis again, which had now become the Rijksmuseum, and was moved to the new Rijksmuseum building when it was finished in 1885. Its last major movement was during the Second World War, when it was kept in a secure bunker under the hills of Limburg for over five years, detached from its frame and rolled around a cylinder. It was restored to the Rijksmuseum after the war."
