Why Is There a Dead Chicken in This Masterpiece

This is the most famous painting in Amsterdam, and it is not a night scene, not a calm portrait, and it was cut up with scissors. We answer the weirdest questions about it: the gun going off next to an officer's ear, the glowing girl with a dead chicken, the drummer and the furious dog, and how whole soldiers were sliced off the left edge. #ArtHistory, #Painting, #Amsterdam, #Museum, #Mystery Picture credit: Rembrandt (Public domain), Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
