The Rijksmuseum says a painting once dismissed as “not a Rembrandt” is now confirmed as a work by the Dutch Golden Age master. On Monday, the museum unveils “Vision of Zacharias in the Temple” after two years of close study. Experts used high-tech scans and compared pigments and paint layers with other Rembrandt works. They also dated the wood panel to before 1633, the year on the painting. A private collector bought it in 1961, and it has stayed out of view for decades. The owner, who has remained anonymous, initially asked the museum only if the painting was Dutch.
