Rembrandt van Rijn's mastery over light and dark has been lionized for centuries.
In the last 30 or 40 years, though, the Baroque master has been scrutinized unlike any other artist in the history of art, primarily by the Rembrandt Research Project, a group of "art cops" who have roamed the globe "demoting" artworks and reattributing them to other artists.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- The auction house thought the portrait was a 17th-century Rembrandt knockoff, and valued it at just $3,100. But the British buyer who paid about 1,500 times more than that apparently knew what he was doing.
Experts have confirmed "Rembrandt Laughing" -- bought for a bargain price of $4.5 million at an English auction house in October -- is a self-portrait by the Dutch master himself, depicted with his head tilted back in easygoing laughter.

Aesthetic philosophers, theorizing literary critics and editors, and reflective commentators on the restoration of paintings, buildings, and monuments have repeatedly shown that the concept of the work is anything but self-evident. The present essay examines major attempts to conceptualize this problematic area since the 1930s, before proposing a solution based on the semiotics of C. S. Peirce and Theodor Adorno's negative dialectics that will help clarify thinking when practices of preservation and conservation are being determined. The language and thinking come ultimately from scholarly editorial activity; the working assumption is that, with suitable adjustments for the medium, it will apply to other historically orientated forms of cultural conservation.
