English: Captain Frans Banning Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash)
The Night Watch or The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq is the common name of one of the most famous works by Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is prominently displayed in the Rijksmuseum, as the best known painting in its collection. The Night Watch is one of the most famous paintings in the world. The painting was completed in 1642, at the peak of the Dutch Golden Age. It depicts the eponymous company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banning Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash) In 1715, upon its removal from the Kloveniersdoelen to the Amsterdam Town Hall, the painting was trimmed on all four sides. This was done, presumably, to fit the painting between two columns and was an all-too-common practice before the 19th century. This alteration resulted in the loss of two characters on the left side of the painting, the top of the arch, the balustrade, and the edge of the step. This balustrade and step were key visual tools used by Rembrandt to give the painting a forward motion. |
