{"product_id":"the-night-watch-of-boston","title":"The Night Watch of Boston","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoston in 1774 was a town under occupation. Parliament had answered the destruction of the tea with the Coercive Acts, closing the harbor on 1 June and stripping Massachusetts of its charter government; General Gage landed regiments to enforce them. The town responded by organizing. Committees of correspondence carried news to every county, the Suffolk Resolves called for arms and drill, and militia companies across the province began training in earnest. Samuel Adams and John Hancock were the men the Crown most wanted to silence, and the men Boston followed into the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRembrandt's The Night Watch of 1642, the centerpiece of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, was commissioned as a group portrait of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq's civic militia company. Rembrandt refused to line the men up. He painted them spilling forward out of an archway, the captain in black and his lieutenant in pale gold stepping into the light while the rest of the company crowds behind with pikes and muskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe archway is Faneuil Hall's brick arcade and the company is Boston's. Samuel Adams, in a dark plum coat, strides forward, hand open in argument; John Hancock keeps pace beside him in pale gold, in the lieutenant's place. A boy at the left holds up a lantern, a drummer at the right beats the step, a dog barks at the procession, and behind them a forest of musket barrels and a furled banner fills the arches, a steeple rising beyond. Light falls only on the two men and the cobbles at their feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRembrandt's militiamen never fired a shot in anger. Within a year, Massachusetts men would, at Lexington and at Bunker Hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is printed on 200 gsm enhanced uncoated fine art paper with a twelve-color pigment process, which holds a wider tonal range than ordinary four-color printing.
