The Night Watch ☲ Rembrandt ☳ Canvas

The Night Watch

The Night Watch (1642) by Rembrandt van Rijn, alternatively titled Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq, is one of the most famous Dutch Golden Age paintings. It depicts a group of Kloveniers, a civic guard, preparing to defend Amsterdam from attack. A total of 34 characters appear in the painting, and Rembrandt's innovative approach to group portraiture would influence many future artists. The dramatic use of light and shadow was significant to Baroque art as well as reflective of emerging Dutch civic pride and the role of citizen militias in 17th-century Amsterdam. The Night Watch has weathered several attacks of its own: in 1715, it was cut down in order to fit a new room; during WWII it was rolled up and hidden; it has been knifed twice, in 1911 and 1975; and an escaped psychiatric patient sprayed it with acid in 1990. Yet it endures, thanks to the generations of guards (restorers and professional conservators) who have overseen its welfare.

Ready to Hang Canvas

Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.

Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

With a Frame

Canvas Float Frame

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. Float frames feature a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas. No glass/glazing is used - canvases have a mildly reflective satin finish.
