PARIS – A letter of intent has been signed between the authorities of Netherlands and the Rothschild family for the purchase of the painting known as “Il Porta Stendardo” by Rembrandt, a work for which the Dutch State undertakes to pay 150 million euros. This was confirmed by the Ministry of Culture. If the Parliament gives the green light to the release of the sum, the work will pass from the family that currently owns it to the Netherlands.
