Rembrandt at Rijksmuseum

Rembrandt’s largest, most famous canvas was made for the Arquebusiers guild hall, known as the ‘Night Watch’. This was one of several halls of Amsterdam’s civic guard, the city’s militia and police. Rembrandt was the first to paint figures in a group portrait actually doing something. The captain, dressed in black, is telling his lieutenant to start the company marching. The guardsmen are getting into formation. Rembrandt used the light to focus on particular details, like the captain’s gesturing hand and the young girl in the foreground. She was the company mascot.

Everyone is here in their own story, writing the script as they go, living the movie picture… choosing who to meet, what to do, how to react to each new experience.
