The Night Watch as Playmobil figures

Let us introduce you to Frans Banninck Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch in miniature. This duo seems to have stepped right out of Rembrandt’s The Night Watch into the world of Playmobil. The two eminent figures make art child’s play. An indispensable collector’s item for fans of Playmobil and Rembrandt alike!

Rembrandt's Night Watch 

The Night Watch is the largest and most famous work by Rembrandt. It was commissioned by the Amsterdam civic guards of the Kloveniersdoelen to hang at their headquarters. Rembrandt was the first painter to show figures in action in such a group portrait – people usually opted for a static pose. But what makes the Night Watch particularly famous is Rembrandt’s use of light in the painting. It’s not for nothing that more than two million visitors a year come to see this masterpiece.

Rijksmuseum and Playmobil

To make art accessible to the widest possible audience, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has joined forces with the German toy company Playmobil. Together with designer Frederik Roijé they have created three Playmobil sets based on the paintings The Night Watch, ‘Marten and Oopjen’ and The Milkmaid as an introduction to art for a young audience.
