in meeting halls and homes and buildings not open to the public. The Night Watch was placed in a window facing a canal where anyone walking by could stop and look at it.

"J'accuse" explains all this history and clearly there is a true story that Rembrandt became knowledgeable of and then proceeded to drop hints and accusations in the painting itself. The 12 families represented were the cream of the crop in Amsterdam at that particular time. They were not amused and used their influence to freeze Rembrandt out of the "upmarket" patron.

Greenaway's "Night Watching" is the story of Rembrandt actually painting the picture and discovering the juicy bits of the back story.

I've scoured the Half.com and eBay for "J'accuse" but it doesn't seem to be available yet. Getting Greenaway on DVD has always been tedious.
