''The Night Watch'' (Dutch: ''De Nachtwacht'') is one of the most famous works by the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. Completed in 1642, during the Dutch Golden Age, this monumental painting is officially titled ''Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq'' (Dutch: ''Schutters van wijk II onder leiding van kapitein Frans Banninck Cocq''). However, it is commonly referred to as ''The Night Watch'' because, by the 18th century, the painting had darkened considerably, leading observers to think it depicted a nocturnal scene. This masterpiece is renowned for its colossal size, measuring 363 cm × 437 cm (11.91 ft × 14.34 ft), its dynamic use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro), and its perception of motion in what would have traditionally been a static military group portrait.

The painting features a city militia company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banninck Cocq and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch. Rembrandt broke new ground with this work by enlivening the military group portrait with dramatic lighting, motion, and individual characterization. The figures are not lined up in a traditional static pose but are captured in mid-action, with some figures in the foreground and others fading into the background, creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality that was revolutionary for its time.

''The Night Watch'' is part of the collection of the Amsterdam Museum but has been on long-term loan to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam since 1808. It has been displayed in the museum's Gallery of Honour, dedicated to the most famous Dutch artists of the 17th century. The painting has undergone several restorations to address issues such as varnish darkening, paint flaking, and past restoration attempts. It remains one of the most celebrated and influential works in the history of Western art and a testament to Rembrandt's genius in portraying the complexity of human emotion and interaction.
