Commissioned to create a work in response to Rembrandt van Rijn’s most famous painting, The Night Watch, at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, German contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer invited controversy by instead making an installation of three glass-and-steel vitrines, filled with objects that reference the Netherlands’ other influential artist, Vincent van Gogh. Kiefer’s monumental triptych, La Berceuse (for Van Gogh), addresses the work of Van Gogh through his portrait of Augustine Roulin, the wife of the postmaster of Arles, and paintings of sunflowers from the same period, while reflecting Rembrandt’s heroic portrayal of 17th-century Dutch militiamen, which hangs opposite, in its glass.
