Rembrandt’s legendary portrayal of Dutch militiamen, Night Watch is among the most recognized paintings in the world. Completed during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, Night Watch has inspired numerous dramatic, choreographic, and musical works—among them the second movement of Mahler’s Seventh Symphony. It is now prominently displayed in its own gallery at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it also recently served as the inspiration behind a spectacular new exhibition.
