РЕМБРАНДТ ВАН РЕЙН Портреты Мартина Солманса и Опьен Коппит. 1634

When Baron Eric de Rothschild in may this year for the first time announced his intention to sell portraits of Martin Almanza and Open Coppit Rembrandt, the French government, on whose territory these portraits now are, did not respond to this statement, but only gave permission for the export. Local media were quick to accuse the Baron Rothschild in the lack of patriotism and betrayal of the precepts of his great ancestors, and the French government and museums like the Louvre — in short-sightedness. Soon was found and the buyer is willing to pay for portraits requested 160 million euros — Amsterdam Rijksmuseum@

Portraits of Martin Almanza (Maerten Soolmans) and Open Coppit (Oopjen Coppit) were painted by Rembrandt shortly before the wedding of this young couple in 1634. The picture never left France since 1877, when they were bought by Baron Gustave de Rothschild, and stay in the collection of the Rothschilds are rarely provided for exhibitions. Valuable portraits and models is depicted in full growth that rarely ever happen Rembrandta@

the French government Now claims that it is ready to pay 80 million euros to keep the country at least one of the portraits. The French Minister of culture Fleur Pellerin (Fleur Pellerin) said in an interview with AFP that the state Bank of France is ready to allocate these funds. In July of this year, according to her, she was negotiating with the Minister of culture of the Netherlands on joint ownership of portraits. It would be "a progressive decision that will strengthen the cultural ties between France and the Netherlands," says the Minister Pellerin. The rights to exhibit both portraits belonged jointly to the Louvre and Rijksmuseum@

for its part, the Minister of culture of the Netherlands Yate Bussemaker (Jet Bussemaker) in a radio interview on Monday said: "For us it is crucial that the pictures which are now in a private collection, became the property of the state and made available to the public, and remained in Europe". The Minister stressed that art belongs to all of us and it would be very undesirable that these works went to some oil-rich country. However, no reaction of the Netherlands to the French proposal on a joint repurchase of paintings by Rembrandt in the interview was not performed, which makes the fate of the portraits of Martin and Salmanca Open Coppit more tumannoi@
