A painting that was once rejected as a work by Rembrandt van Rijn has now been acknowledged as a work by the Dutch master, thanks to two years of scrutiny in the city where the then 27-year-old artist painted it in 1633, a museum announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands\u2019 national art and history museum, the Rijksmuseum, unveiled the work, Vision of Zacharias in the Temple<\/em>, and said painstaking analysis, including hi-tech scans, has confirmed it was painted by Rembrandt after he moved to the Dutch capital, Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

The painting has not been on public display in decades after being bought by a private collector in 1961, a year after it was deemed not to be a Rembrandt<\/span>, the museum said in a statement. From Wednesday, it will go on show among other masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum, where it is on long-term loan.<\/div>\n

Director Taco Dibbits said the museum often gets emails from people asking if the painting they own might just be by the Dutch Golden Age master.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always hope to find a new Rembrandt, but this happens rarely,\u201d he said, adding that making such a discovery \u201cis just like [finding] a needle in a haystack\u201d.<\/p>\n

The owner, who has remained anonymous, initially asked the museum only if the painting was Dutch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
