Rome, home of the Teerlink Foundation, an organization that promotes the works of Abraham Alessandro Teerlink, a Dutch painter, collector and scholar active in Rome in the first half of the 19th century. Near the window, on an easel, there is a work of art, a nativity scene, beautiful but blackened by time. Due to a gust of wind the work falls. The owner, Alessandro Caucci Molara, fond of the painting, decides that the canvas deserves to be saved. Incredible elements will emerge from the restoration report. A story told by Guido Talarico’s documentary, produced by FAD and Lilium Distribution, in collaboration with Rai Cultura, “Rembrandt, the rediscovered masterpiece”, broadcast on Wednesday 3 January at 9.15pm for the first time on Rai 5 for “Art Night” with Neri Marcore. What is discovered on that canvas is a magnificent work, “The Adoration of the Magi”, thought to be lost for centuries, and the documentary aims to be a tribute to the great master, absolute protagonist of the golden century of Dutch art, and a tribute to Rome, once again the international capital of culture. A decisive contribution to this discovery and to the reconstruction of the events narrated in the film is due to the A. Teerlink Foundation, owner of the work, and to its President Alessandro Caucci Molara: “We feel the responsibility – he says – to offer the enjoyment of the great I publish a lost painting, the Adoration of the Magi by Rembrandt, a magical and sophisticated, vibrant and mysterious work. We want to allow everyone to be involved in the magic of this painting, the result of a cultured collecting, which progressively reveals itself to the eyes of the viewer and, little by little, penetrate between the veils of color to discover the hidden graphic wonders, the instinctive and vital sketches ”. The director, author and co-producer of the documentary, Guido Talarico, focuses his attention on the theme of value “With this film I had the opportunity to talk about two enormous entities, a master of the magnitude of Rembrandt and a capital like Rome, whose eternity still emerges once through culture. It is an intriguing story, a mystery with a happy ending that helps on the one hand to focus on the greatness of the protagonists and on the other to discover the importance of cultural diplomacy which in 1700 was perhaps more alive than today. Happy that Rai Cultura supported us in this work too. Happy to have had a new opportunity to tell a secret that our immense Rome kept.
