The painting was commissioned around 1639 by Captain Banninck Cocq and seventeen members of his Kloveniers ( civic militia guards).
The colour yellow is often associated with victory. The dead chicken is also meant to represent a defeated adversary. The man in front of her is wearing a helmet with an oak leaf, a traditional motif of the arquebusiers. She is a kind of mascot herself the claws of a dead chicken on her belt represent the clauweniers (arquebusiers), the pistol behind the chicken represents clover and she is holding the militia's goblet. Rembrandt has displayed the traditional emblem of the arquebusiers in a natural way, with the woman in the background carrying the main symbols. Behind them, the company's colours are carried by the ensign, Jan Visscher Cornelissen. With effective use of sunlight and shade, Rembrandt leads the eye to the three most important characters among the crowd: the two men in the centre (from whom the painting gets its original title), and the woman in the centre-left background carrying a chicken. It depicts the eponymous company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banninck Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash) and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash). The painting was completed in 1642, at the peak of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is famous for three things: its colossal size (363 by 437 centimetres (12 by 14 + 1⁄ 2 feet)), the dramatic use of light and shadow ( tenebrism) and the perception of motion in what would have traditionally been a static military group portrait. The Night Watch is one of the most famous Dutch Golden Age paintings. It is in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum but is prominently displayed in the Rijksmuseum as the best-known painting in its collection. 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, but commonly referred to as The Night Watch ( Dutch: De Nachtwacht), is a 1642 painting by Rembrandt van Rijn.
