| dc.description | Detail, Captain Reynier Reael (left) and Lieutenant Cornelis Michielsz Blaeuw (right); A commission for a civic guard portrait (schuttersstuk) was rarely granted to a painter from outside the city. Quite exceptionally, Frans Hals (from Haarlem), was asked to paint this group portrait. However, he soon found himself at odds with the guardsmen, and the Amsterdam painter Pieter Codde had to step in to finish the seven figures on the right. Known for his small-scale, very smoothly and finely executed works, Codde nevertheless imitated Hals’s loose style as best he could. Because the men are thinner than the men portrayed in other, later, Amsterdam schutterstukken hanging near this painting, the piece was later nicknamed the "meagre [lean] company". Besides the ensign and the seated men, the names of the other officers are unknown today. Source: Rijksmuseum [website]; www.rijksmuseum.nl/en (accessed 5/19/2015) | en_US |
