Description
This is a reproduction of "De Nachtwacht" by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn of 1642. This is one of the greatest paintings of all time. Its proper title is "The Company of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Rutenburch" and it is on display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The painting is known for its large size, effective use of Chiaroscuro (the dramatic juxtapoistion of extremities in lightness and dark) and the perception of motion that Rembrandt was able to engender within it. It was commissioned by the captain and members of a company of civic guards as part of the contemporary fashion of these companies of volunteers to have joint portraits done. There is a popular myth that this painting had a poor reception which marked the decline in Rembrandt's work in the 1640's. There is no ground for the story as the painting was very well received. It remains one of the most moving of all paintings of all time.
