The Rembrandt painting was misnamed the Night Watch because it appeared to be a night scene. It was later discovered that dark varnish was used to protect it, and this was removed in the 1940s.
When the painting was cleaned it was much lighter than in it's original state, no longer fitting the title 'Night Watch' which, by the way, was not titled by Rembrandt.
His painting is called Starry Night. It was painted in 1889, the year before he died. Starry, Starry Night is a song.

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).
In the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Holland (The Netherlands).The painting has its own gallery room, the Nachtwachtzaal(Room of the Night Watch).

The alternate title for the painting is The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq.
The painting called "The Night Watch" is a 1682 painting by Rembrandt that depicts a Dutch militia. The painting's actual title in English would be "The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out" and its colloquial name stems from it being inaccurately thought to be a night scene (due to layers of dark varnish finally removed in the 1940s).
