Two Peas In A Pod
The two artworks that the French and Dutch governments purchased were both of one couple: Oopjen Coppit and Maerten Soolmans. Rembrandt painted them in 1634 when they had been married for just one year. Both canvases were 83 by 53 inches in size. But how much did each piece go for? Both parted ways with Christie’s auction house for a whopping $95 million apiece! Most people cannot imagine earning even close to that much money, let alone spending it on art.
