Remembering Rembrandt re-creates one of the master’s classic in AR

A free new app available on Android and iOS creates an AR portal through which you can view a re-creation of one of Rembrandt’s most famous paintings.

The app is made by Amsterdam-based design studio CapitolaVR for Dutch insurance and investment company Nationale Nederlanden as well as the Mauritshuis museum, where the painting is on display. Remembering Rembrandt depicts “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp” with lookalikes brought in for a 3D recreation of the scene.
