TITLE: PAINTING - Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq - BAROQUE PERIOD IN HOLLAND

DESCRIPTION: REMBRANDT. Category: GROUP PORTRAIT. Commissioned by Captain. Very different from typical group portrait: chaotic, not ordered. They didn't like this painting. Capt. on L. and Lt. on R. Highest rank in center. See hand shadow: symbol that Lt. is "overshadowed" by Capt. See bright white figure crouching: is this Rembrandt's dead wife?
