I don't believe for a moment that the paragraph on the progressive rock group King Crimson is of the slightest interest to anyone looking for information on this great work. I've deleted it. Palefire 01:07, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

I am unfamiliar with the King Crimson reference (and am now intrigued), but the progressive rock group Ayreon has a song from the view point of one individual possing for The Night Watch. You may review the lyrics at on the Ayreon website [1]. --RedKnight 20:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Popular reception

Changed this heading from 'myths' because I believe it more accurate. The external link which yields this information does not claim that the misconception began with the advertisement, merely that it continued and contributed to it. JNW 23:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment on trivia item

First trivia item states: "Rembrandt cleverly included himself in the painting. In the background, slightly above and to the left of the Captain's head, all that is visible of him is an eye, a nose, part of a forehead, and his painter's beret." Agreed that trivia does not belong; though artist's self depiction in famous painting might fit in narrative and not be considered trivia. However, no citation is provided and the curatorial materials at the Rijksmuseum note that *some believe* this figure to be a self portrait, but experts are not in agreement about it. 68.20.20.179 (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)dmittleman[reply]

Chiaroscuro

IS this painting an example of Chiaroscuro? if not, why not? if it is, should it be mentioned? ---Uwaisis (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
