It was in the winter of 2016 that Jan Six, a Dutch art dealer based in
Amsterdam, made a discovery that would upend his life. He was leafing through
a Christie’s **** catalog when he spotted a painting featuring a young man
wearing a dazed look, a lace collar and a proto-Led Zeppelin coif. Christie’s
had labeled it a painting by one of Rembrandt’s followers, but Mr. Six knew it
was by the Dutch master himself.
Today on The Sunday Read, a look at Mr. Six’s discovery of the first new Rembrandt painting in over four decades, and the fallout from finding it.
