Dr. Alexander Loudon, Netherlands Ambassador to the'United States, said recently that one of the most recent allies sought by the Nazis is that stout Dutch painter, Rembrandt. Speaking at the opening of an exhibit of one of the largest and most valuable collections of Dutch paintings ever grouped in the United States, Dr. Loudon said: "The Nazis say that Rembrandt in the expression of his art was Germanic, so that really it was German cultural influence which made him the great master of the ages.” This argument, said Dr. Loudon, is both “misleading” and “ridiculous,” adding that “Rembrandt and his school . . . and other great men of the mind” are “the rock upon which I the immortality of Dutch civilisation is built.”
