        Ok, just confirmed with wife, not a crapper of any sorts(could have fooled me)

        She claims it's simply a tree stump or log of some sorts and the man is shown resting and thinking about life.

            I thought REMBRANDT was denture paste or something that you wouldn't want to brag about.

              Since when do people throw Rembrandt's in the dumpster?

                Sure you did Fish.

                I'm guessing you didn't buy a Rembrandt van Rijn, you do know/understand that Mikie Rembrandt from Reno isn't the same guy? Right?

                        I think Fish thinks the majority of dumbasses here will believe this.

                        Steve Wynn's last Rembrandt cost him 33 million dollars.

                              Auction house, no gallary.


                              My neighbors though work at one of the top gallaries in town at the FORUM SHOPS at CEASERS..........stop in and say hello to them.

                                No, that was a Picasso.

                                Fish---this story of yours is in my wheelhouse. I have 9 art collectors as clients, who is doing your appraisal for this Rembrandt that you purchased? Did you get a carbon score with the purchase? and who has the insurance title on it now?

                                Are there palate markings throughout the brush strokes? How are they being preserved?

                                    So an Auction House had a Rembrandt----and it sold for 2300 dollars.

                                    Yeah, if I were you---you may want to fuking sprint to that Gallery owner you know-----not walk, sprint.

                                    My guess though is you don't have a Rembrandt.

                                    You are talking about a painting that would be 450 years old, and one of the most sought after works ever. You didn't buy one for 2300 dollars.

                                    But it is a funny story.

                                    People make this mistake all the time. Rembrandt had 2 dozen students who worked with him, and many copied his style (Broad strokes, knife markings on his palate)---Rembrandt used a specific type of paint, and the chemical composition of his paintings has been studied, examined and is now the most distinguishing characteristic of his works.

                                                        Missed some sort of DALI piece at the auction that went for a mere $110........auctioneer said it was apprasied at $2900.

                                                        Love auctions, they have really aided me financially over the years.
