"Night Watch" is a common misnomer for one of the most famous works by the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn, whose full title is "Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq," also known as "The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch." Created in 1642, this painting is renowned for its colossal size, measuring 363 cm × 437 cm (11.91 ft × 14.34 ft), its vibrant use of light and shadow, and its perception of motion in what would have traditionally been a static military group portrait.

The painting depicts a city guard as the militia company of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch, move out, led by Rembrandt's dynamic lighting and composition. It was one of three such commissions that Rembrandt received to create large-scale group portraits for the newly built Kloveniersdoelen (Musketeers' Meeting Hall) in Amsterdam.

Rembrandt's innovative approach to this work involved a dramatic use of chiaroscuro and a sense of movement that was atypical of the group portraiture of the time, which tended to be more static and formal. The figures in "The Night Watch" are set in a dynamic, almost theatrical arrangement, with Captain Cocq and Lieutenant Ruytenburch brightly illuminated and the rest of the company actively posed, as if caught in a moment of action.

The painting's original title did not include "Night Watch," but the nickname was acquired over the centuries due to the dark varnish that had covered the painting, giving the false impression of a nocturnal scene. After cleaning and restoration, it became clear that the scene was actually set in daylight.

"The Night Watch" is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and is one of the most famous and celebrated paintings in the world. Its significance in art history cannot be overstated, as it represents a turning point in Rembrandt's career and a defining moment in the Baroque period, showcasing the artist's mastery of light, composition, and narrative in painting.
