IF A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, WHAT DO YOU SEE?


What are the chances the kids above are looking for information about the painting? It's possible, since this painting is not hanging in the United States. What do you think? A sign that the apocalypse is upon us, or a picture of modern research techniques?

If the kids are not looking for information, I'm just going to say this isn't on the students ...

For the record, the Rembrandt painting (1642) is called "The Night Watch" and depicts a militia company, of all things, in daylight (I don't know; ask Rembrandt). It hangs in the Rikjsmuseum in Amsterdam.
