Publisher's Note In 1968, art scholars began to evaluate every Rembrandt painting around the world to determine their authenticity. One of Rembrandt's most famous works, "The Man with the Golden Helmet", was "determined" by art scholars to have not been painted by Rembrandt. The art world was shocked! On October 8, 1994, the author discovered Rembrandt's cryptic golden self-portrait, hidden for 325 years in the helmet of this world famous "deattributed" masterpiece. The image is clearly there and clearly Rembrandt's face. What other conclusion can we have but that Rembrandt did paint this painting? The issues it raises are of global importance. Is this painting again worth 100 million dollars as an authentic Rembrandt, or only 100 thousand as a work by a pupil? Will the scholars acknowledge the image exists, or ignore it to protect their reputations? How valid are the other numerous deattributions? The author's overlay drawing will allow you to see this remarkable image.
