The Night Watch, 1642
Rembrandt
Oil on canvas · 363 x 437 cm
A militia bursts into motion and light in Rembrandt's most theatrical group portrait.
Rembrandt transformed the group portrait into pure theatre: a militia company surges forward out of shadow into shafts of light, drums, spears and movement everywhere. Enormous and endlessly detailed, it is the crowning masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age.
