"The Night Watch" (Dutch: De Nachtwacht) is one of the most famous paintings by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. Completed in 1642, this masterpiece is officially titled "Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq," but it is commonly known as "The Night Watch" due to the long-held misconception that the scene is set at night, which was caused by a darkened varnish that gave the impression of a nocturnal atmosphere. This misinterpretation was later corrected after a cleaning and restoration process revealed the scene to be set in daylight.

The painting is renowned for its colossal size, measuring approximately 3.63 meters by 4.37 meters (11.91 ft × 14.34 ft), and its use of dramatic lighting and innovative composition. It depicts a city guard company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banninck Cocq and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch. Rembrandt's skillful manipulation of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, brings focus to the central figures, while his use of motion gives the impression of a snapshot capturing a moment in time.

"The Night Watch" is a prime example of Rembrandt's expertise in portraying group portraits in a dynamic and narrative manner, which was a departure from the static and formal group portraits of the era. The painting's intricate details and the individual characterization of the guardsmen contribute to its status as a landmark of Baroque art and a highlight of Rembrandt's oeuvre.

Since 1808, "The Night Watch" has been housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is considered one of the museum's most prized possessions. The artwork has undergone several restorations to address issues such as vandalism and natural aging, ensuring its preservation for future generations. "The Night Watch" remains one of the most celebrated and studied works in the history of art, symbolizing the Golden Age of Dutch painting and Rembrandt's enduring legacy as one of the greatest painters of all time.
