Two masters in the Rembrandt House: Schiffmacher etches Rembrandt on the skin

Tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher is tattooing Rembrandt's works at the Rembrandt House as part of 'The Poor Man’s Rembrandt' project. Visitors can receive a tattoo of Rembrandt's art until November 7. Schiffmacher aims to connect different social layers through this art form, emphasizing its accessibility. The project has garnered significant interest, with many tattoos being created daily. Schiffmacher sees this as a bridge between tattoo culture and classical art, while museum director Milou Halbesma highlights the relevance of tattoos in reaching diverse audiences. The initiative also includes participation from museum staff, further blending the worlds of art and tattooing.
