Rembrandt's 'Night Watch', painted in 1642, one of the biggest attractions in Rijksmuseum
The most famous painting at the Rijksmuseum is Rembrandt's Night Watch. It is the largest painting Rembrandt ever made. A national icon that fires the imagination and is always at the centre of discussion. The Night Watch actually has another title: the 'Company of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch'. The picture is a militia painting: a group portrait of a division of the civic guard.
Rembrandt depicted the group of militiamen in an original way. He did not paint them in neat row or sitting at their annual banquet, rather, he recorded a moment: a group of militiamen have just moved into action and are about to march off.
