About this work

Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669)
Year: 1662
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 191.5 × 279 cm
Collection: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Movement: Dutch Golden Age

Six men look up from a table as if the viewer had just opened the door. Five of them are the sampling officials of the Amsterdam drapers' guild, the wardens who tested the quality of dyed cloth against samples and stamped each bolt with lead seals; the sixth, standing bareheaded behind them, is their servant Frans Hendricksz Bel. Rembrandt painted the group in 1662, after his bankruptcy had pushed him out to a rented house on the Rozengracht, and the commission showed that the city's institutions still wanted him. He set the viewpoint low, so the men loom slightly above the viewer, and spread a Persian carpet and an open sample book across the table. The painting hung in the guild's Staalhof until 1771 and has been on loan from the City of Amsterdam to the Rijksmuseum since 1808. It is often called his last great group portrait.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild (De Staalmeesters) in the public domain?

Yes. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Rijksmuseum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild (De Staalmeesters) painted, and in what medium?

The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild (De Staalmeesters) dates from 1662 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 191.5 × 279 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
