Rembrandt painted Night Watch in 1642.
In 1642, Rembrandt painted the most important work of his career, "The Night Watch." The painting is renowned for three elements: its colossal size, the effective use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro), and the perception of motion in what would have been, traditionally, a static military portrait. It depicts the eponymous company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banning Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash) and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash).
