EDITORS COMMENTS
Frans Hals' Militia Company of District XI under the Command of Captain Reynier Reael, also known as 'The Meagre Company,' is a striking oil on canvas painting from the Dutch Golden Age, created in 1637. This masterpiece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, depicts the officers and other guardsmen of the XIth District of Amsterdam, led by Captain Reijnier Reael and Lieutenant Cornelis Michielsz Blaeuw. The painting showcases a diverse group of men, dressed in various shades of brown and blue, representing the militia of Amsterdam during the 17th century. The title 'The Meagre Company' refers to the plain and simple clothing of the militiamen, reflecting their practicality and readiness for war. The men are depicted with serious expressions, exuding a sense of camaraderie and discipline. Frans Hals, a renowned Dutch painter, expertly captured the individuality of each man, from the stern gaze of Captain Reael to the playful smirk of an unidentified soldier in the back row. The painting is a testament to the importance of the militia in Dutch society during this period, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting make it a beloved work of art, not only in the Netherlands but also throughout Europe. The Militia Company of District XI under the Command of Captain Reynier Reael remains an essential piece of Dutch heritage, showcasing the rich history and tradition of the Low Countries during the 17th century.
