At the Rijksmuseum: Modern Art

Two pictures displayed side by side.

The picture at the right depicting items from the then future.

Does that picture exist, whether or not at that implied size, whether or not displayed in the Rijksmuseum?

I asked Bing Chat AI the following.

Is there a picture of a swan at the Rijksmuseum:?

Here is the answer


Yes, there is a picture of a swan at the Rijksmuseum. The painting is called “The Threatened Swan” and was created by Jan Asselijn around 1650. The painting depicts a swan fiercely defending its nest against a dog. In later centuries, this scene was interpreted as a political allegory: the white swan was thought to symbolize the Dutch statesman Johan de Witt (assassinated in 1672) protecting the country from its enemies12. This painting was the very first acquisition to enter the Nationale Kunstgalerij (the forerunner of the Rijksmuseum) in 18801. It is currently on display in the Gallery of Honour1. The dimensions of the painting are 144cm high and 171cm wide.

The one at the left (the swan) is a real picture but this one I did draw it by myself in Affinity. (You can see it at the dog in the left corner in my attachment). The one at the right is an imagine of me. I often visit the Rijksmuseum and than I look into the past. One day I thought what will the Dickens people see as a modern art?
