What artist painted The Night Watch?

Rembrandt painted Night Watch in 1642. In 1642, Rembrandt painted the most important work of his career, "The Night Watch." The painting is renowned for three elements: its colossal size, the effective use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro), and the perception of motion in what would have been, traditionally, a static military portrait. It depicts the eponymous company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banning Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash) and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash).
