EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "Militia Company District II under Command Captain Frans Banninck Cocq" also known as "The Night Watch". Painted by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1642, this masterpiece immortalizes the officers and civic guardsmen of District II in Amsterdam. In this grand composition, we witness a group of archers from the Kloveniersdoelen stepping out of a gate, ready for action. Each individual is meticulously depicted and their names are proudly displayed on a shield next to the gate. Among them are notable figures such as Frans Banning Cocq, lord of Purmerlant and Ilpendam; Capiteijn Willem van Ruijtenburch van Vlaerdingen, lord of Vlaerdingen; Jan Visscher Cornelisen Vaendrich; Rombout Kemp Sergeant; Reijnier Engelen Sergeant; and many more. The soldiers stand tall with an array of weapons including lances, muskets, and halberds. A drummer with a large drum adds rhythm to their march while an ensign carries the banner high above them. Notably, amidst these brave men stands a young girl with a dead chicken tied around her waist symbolizing innocence amidst war. Rembrandt's masterful use of light and shadow brings depth to each character's expression while capturing the essence of warfare during that era. This extraordinary piece measures an impressive 379.5 cm by 453.5 cm and weighs approximately 337 kg. As one gazes upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, they cannot help but be transported back in time to witness this historic moment frozen forever on canvas - The Night Watch Militia Company under Captain Frans Banninck Cocq's command guarding Amsterdam with unwavering dedication.
