Rembrandt was hired to paint the militia company, specifically the "Night Watch," because of his reputation as a skilled artist capable of capturing the dignity and camaraderie of civic pride. The painting was commissioned by Captain Frans Banning Cocq and his company, who sought to commemorate their unity and leadership through a prominent and dynamic work of art. Rembrandt's innovative approach, dramatic use of light and shadow, and ability to depict movement made him an ideal choice for this significant civic project.
