Rembrandt, Captain Frans Banning Cocq Mustering His Company, 1642. A wealthy civic-guard company commissioned the painting to create a large group portrait for the meeting hall (this is a unique group portrait and as characteristic of Baroque art, it attempts to capture the group's real personality).
Battle scene with a Roman army besieging a large city by Juan De La Corte (1590-1662). He specialized in the painting of landscapes, battle scenes and studies in perspective, genres that had a long tradition in Flanders but not in Spain.
