Rembrandt "Syndics of The Drapers' Guild"

From the Paper:

"Rembrandt's painting The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild (also known as The Sampling Officials of the Drapers' Guild) was painted in 1662. This very large painting (75 1/4" x 109 3/4") hangs at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is considered one of the great works of Rembrandt's later career. The Syndics is an example of a particular type of group portrait, the board of directors, and is one of the outstanding works of this type. In this portrait, as in many others, Rembrandt conformed to the rules for the genre but his approach was completely individual and his work stands out from all the others of the same type. Aside from being a beautiful, dynamic version of what could be a very boring subject, the Syndics painting also tells the viewer a great deal about Dutch culture at the time.

Portraits were a very popular form of art with the wealthy.."
