Night Watch, also known as The Military Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq, is a masterpiece Rembrandt van Rijn. Created in 1642, during the Dutch Golden Age, it is arguably Rembrandt's most famous painting.

This work, preserved in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, is renowned for its grand scale, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the perception of motion. This baroque painting measures at 359.4 cm × 437.7 cm (141.7 in × 172.4 in). It reveals a scene of a city guard, led by Captain Frans Banning Cocq and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch, as they march out with their company.

One of Rembrandt's most innovative and ambitious undertakings, Night Watch, deviates from the static, formal portraits traditional for Dutch civic guard paintings at that time. Instead, Rembrandt depicted the guards in a burst of action. Pictorial mechanics such as a spotlight effect, a characters' placement and a play of light and darkness invoke a dynamic, almost theatrical sense of drama.

Night Watch is illustrious not only for showcasing Rembrandt's mastery over chiaroscuro and tenebrism but also for its successful effort in encompassing individual, group, and collective portraiture. It reflects the pride of Amsterdam's citizens in their city's militia guards, thereby embodying the civic consciousness of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century.

Misconceptions regarding its name emerged due to a dark varnish that once overlaid the piece, giving the false idea that the scene happened at night. With the varnish removed, the painting now displays the daytime setting originally intended by Rembrandt. The name, Night Watch, however, has remained ingrained in popular culture.

The painting is notable for having been battered during its life, including an attempted knife attack in 1911, and another in 1975. Despite such ordeals, it has undergone numerous restorations and remains a major draw for visitors to the Rijksmuseum. This artwork plays a crucial role in Rembrandt's oeuvre and continues to be a monumental representation of Dutch art history.
