More about The Night Watch
Rembrandt was commissioned by Captian Banning Cocq and 17 members of his militia. Their names are shown on the shield in the painting. Each person in the painting had paid 100 guilders a lot of money at the time to be included. It was completed and first hung in the Great Hall in Amsterdam.
The painting, like many done by the great artists of the time, has numerous layers of meaning. The chicken claws in the womans belt represent the arquebusiers (hook guns) as well as a dead enemy. The symmetry of the painting reflects the union between Dutch Protestants and Catholics, and the struggle against the Spanish.
The Night Watch was actually cropped in early 18th century when it was moved to a new location. The original painting shows two more figures and some other details, similar to this copy made some time before:
The Night Watch painting is now displayed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

$194.00 – $1,076.00A Rembrandt is a must-have in any personal collection – he was one of the greatest painters and printmakers in Europe, and the most significant in Dutch history.
If you love detailed paintings, Belshazzar’s Feast is a great example. The artist used distinctive features on the main character – from his gold and silver costume, to the chains and turban as adornments. The supporting characters lack the same extravagance, but the details on their clothing and headpieces and the objects on the table contribute to the story.
This a great conversation piece especially among art lovers who are fascinated by paintings that tell a story and convey emotions.Select optionsQuick View
