Night Watch

Night-Watch
The Night Watch is one of the most well-known paintings by Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It describes a city guard moving out, supervised by Captain Frans Banning Cocq as well as his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch. The painting was covered with a dark glaze which gave the wrong impression that it described a night scene, causing to be named as Night Watch. This glaze was removed in the 1940s. The painting is displayed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
