EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork titled "Militia Company District XI under Command Captain Reynier Reael" by Frans Hals, painted in Amsterdam in 1637. The painting depicts a group of officers and guardsmen belonging to the Meager Company, which was led by Captain Reijnier Reael and Lieutenant Cornelis Michielsz Blaeuw. The composition captures the essence of military affairs during that era, highlighting citizen soldiery and civil guard practices. The soldiers are portrayed standing tall with weapons such as banners, halberds, and lances held firmly in their hands. Two men can be seen sitting while others stand alone, creating a dynamic visual contrast. Hals' masterful use of oil paint on canvas brings out intricate details within this large-scale militia piece measuring approximately 209 cm high and 429 cm wide. The artist's skill is evident through his ability to capture each individual's unique features and expressions. This print allows viewers to appreciate the historical significance of this artwork without commercial use intentions. It serves as a reminder of Amsterdam's rich cultural heritage and its connection to military history during the seventeenth century.
