'Hyper-resolution' image of Rembrandt painting aids restoration restart

Lockdown delays restoration of The Night Watch, but it can be viewed online in minute detail'

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has posted online the most detailed photograph ever taken of Rembrandt's The Night Watch, revealing every brushstroke and random fleck of paint.

The so-called hyper-resolution image was launched as the museum announced a delay to the completion of the painting's restoration, which was begun last year and live-streamed to a global audience.
