The Netherlands, 17th century - let's have a pose/watch-off
Date: 2015-03-15 12:31 am (UTC)Painted in the 17th century by Rembrandt, and its of a shooting company looking very srs bsns about its duties.
But have you ever seen the Meagre Company? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meagre_Company
A group portrait by Frans Hals, also 17th century, of the Meagre Company, a company similar to the Night Watch, but gathering by the group portrait about 100% more fabulous.
So what about a pose-off? The leaders of the companies snarking at each other that they're better? Hals and Van Rijn headdesking secretly? Give me ridiculous 17th century competitiveness PLEASE.
