The Night Watch
Rembrandt van Rijn (1642)
Universally acclaimed as the supreme masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age, this monumental civic-guard portrait shattered centuries of static group-portraiture convention. Rather than lining figures up in a rigid row, the composition stages a dramatic moment of kinetic action, using theatrical tenebrism and foreshortened halberds to project the captain’s gesture directly into the viewer’s space. Amid the shadowy muster, a radiant golden figure in the middle ground carries a white poultry bird, cleverly embodying the musketeer guild’s emblematic talons.
Heavyweight natural cotton canvas printed with The Night Watch on one side and its museum wall plaque on the other. Built with reinforced straps for books, daily errands, or a trip to the gallery.

Why We Print on Both Sides
When you visit Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, half the magic of standing in front of The Night Watch (1642) is leaning in to read the wall label next to the frame. We wanted our pieces to capture that same experience. One side shows Rembrandt van Rijn’s work in crisp detail, and the other side carries its museum wall plaque so the history behind the canvas is never lost.
Collector Reviews (4.9 / 5 • 17 Reviews)
“The color fidelity on The Night Watch is remarkable, and having the curatorial wall plaque from Rijksmuseum printed on the reverse makes it a genuine conversation piece.”
“Bought this for an art history colleague who adores Rembrandt van Rijn. The print is crisp on both sides and the historical notes on the reverse are wonderfully researched.”
