It was commissioned by 18 people, whose names appear on a shield in the background.  Some of them apparently didn't pay full price and only their faces appear in the background above the main figures.  Both words in its name are a misnomer; the people pictured are not in fact soldiers, and the layer of soot that had landed on the painting obscured the fact that it takes place in the daytime.  For ten points, name this depiction of Franz Banning Cocq and his men, a masterwork of Rembrandt.

The {Night Watch} (accept {Company} of {Captain Frans Banning Cocq} and {Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenhurch}, but mock anyone who says that for being a showoff)
