Unfinished and Da Vinci’s only known male portrait, oil on walnut.
Was playing Horizon Forbidden West last night and the game had you go through a gallery of Dutch art to explore the motivations and background of several characters. Very unexpected, and might be the favorite moment of the game. Night Watch was one of the pieces in that gallery.
Purchased by Bernard Berenson for Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1869 and was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston before its theft in 1990; it remains missing.
