EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Officers and other shooters of the XVIII district in Amsterdam, led by Captain Albert Bas and Lieutenant Lucas Conijn. The piece, known as the Civic Guards Piece, depicts members of the citizen militia positioned on a raised gallery. At the bottom right of the stairs, Captain Bas and Lieutenant Conijn can be seen seated with walking sticks in hand, exuding an air of authority. The composition is filled with a variety of weaponry such as halberds and guns held by the other shooters along with banners representing their allegiance. This image serves as a testament to warfare and military affairs during this era, highlighting both civilian soldiers' dedication to protecting their city and their proficiency in handling firearms. Painted by Govert Flinck in 1645 using oil paint on canvas, this masterpiece measures an impressive height of 347 cm by width 244 cm. Its depth is recorded at 10.5 cm while weighing approximately 106 kg. The Kloveniersdoelen building provides a majestic backdrop for this scene, further emphasizing its historical significance within Amsterdam's militia culture. With every detail meticulously captured through Flinck's brushstrokes, this print preserves not only an iconic moment but also pays homage to Captain Albert Bas and Lieutenant Lucas Conijn's leadership within the militia of Amsterdam during that time period.
