History in the making! Douwes Fine Art is proud to present a groundbreaking project that we have been working on together with V-ID and CMS Nederland: For the first time, V-ID's validation platform, known for securing digital files against manipulation, extended its activities into the physical world, by validating Rembrandts' "Virgin and Child in the clouds" with the help of multiple Blockchains.

Together with V-ID we developed a method to secure every detail of the artwork as well as its expertise - through video, macro-photography and traditional expert knowledge - on to the blockchain. We then issued a digital certificate of the work. In collaboration with CMS law and their Notary we were able to confirm the authenticity of this digital certificate and secure the files on multiple blockchains using V-ID's validation platform! An important step in combatting art fraud and protecting our heritage

We are very thankful for the great collaboration with V-ID (Marnix van den Berg, Pim Voets, Joshua Jenster) and CMS Law (Femke Stroucken). Check out the project in the video below!

Openbare restauratie schilderij ‘Gezicht op de ruïnes van Palmyra’ in het Allard Pierson!

Erick Douwes, hoofd van de restauratie afdeling van Douwes Fine Art, zal de komende weken 'live' restaureren in het Allard Pierson Museum. Het oudste schilderij van de Syrische stad Palmyra was dringend toe aan restauratie. Het ruim vier meter brede panorama laat zien hoe Palmyra er in 1691 uitzag en is een belangrijk werk van Gerard Hofsted van Essen die in datzelfde jaar naar de ruïnes afreisde om deze vast te leggen.

Iedereen is welkom om een bezoek te brengen aan het restauratieatelier in het museum (Oude Turfmarkt 129 in Amsterdam) waar gewerkt wordt aan de restauratie.
Erick is de volgende data aanwezig: 20 maart, 22 maart, 29 maart, 3 april, 9 april, 16 april, 23 april en 1 mei (tijdens openingstijden).

Als de restaurator niet aan het werk is ben je natuurlijk ook van harte welkom om te zien hoe de restauratie vordert.

Eind zeventiende eeuw vertrok een expeditie naar de historische stad Palmyra. Een van de aanwezigen was de schilder Gerard Hofsted van Essen, die vervolgens ...

A wonderful article in the February edition of Collect art magazine about Rembrandt van Rijn and his etchings. A special tribute as it is 350 years since the great master Rembrandt passed away. The article includes a beautifully written interview with the 7th generation owner of Douwes Fine Art, Mr. Evert J.M. Douwes. A worthwhile read, unfortunately only available in Dutch though ;)
