As the paintings the 'Night Watch' and the 'Staalmeesters' [famous works of Rembrandt ] are showed now it is clear to everyone that they have searched but, indeed messed with it, to enable these paintings to do what they can do [visually]. But you see, they did not find a good solution just because they appreciated the museum itself [a rather new building, then! ] higher than the paintings themselves. I told at the very first opening of the Rijksmuseum [1885] already everyone who wanted to listen to me: in this room, where the Night Watch' is hanging now, it can never comes to its full right.... There must be built for the 'Night Watch' and for the 'Staalmeesters' a separate room each.... [with] standing light and the paintings positioned on an easel or standard behind.... I just want to add here, that my own studio can serve as a very special model.... concerning the sizes and the lighting.
