Imagine you walk into a small chapel in the heart of Naples. Outside, the city is noise: narrow alleys, voices bouncing off the walls, laundry hanging from balcony to balcony. Inside, suddenly, silence. You walk slowly and, in the center of the nave, you see a body lying down, covered by a shroud.
This woman is not dreaming. She is being crushed. Look closely. She hangs off the bed, her head thrown back and her arms limp, as if her body no longer belonged to her. On her chest sits a small, heavy, motionless creature. And it is staring at you. At you. Throughout history, dreams have been read in many ways.

He knew perfectly well what to do to achieve perfection, but you must bear in mind that the David sculpture measures over 17 feet (5 meters) in height...

Few paintings have been looked at, studied and reproduced as much as The Night Watch. Rembrandt finished it in 1642 and, almost four centuries later, it still holds secrets. Many of them were not in plain sight: they came to light thanks to Operation Night Watch, the research and restoration project the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam launched in 2019 with a team of more than twenty scientists, conservators, curators and photographers.
