Dutch historian Bas Dudok van Heel has unravelled the mystery after years of research in archives and inventories of estates. A precise description can now also be made of the great hall of the civic guard building known as Kloveniersdoelen (today Doelen Hotel in Amsterdam), the room for which Rembrandt originally painted the Night Watch. These astonishing findings are premiered in the English edition of The Rijksmuseum
 De schutters op de Nachtwacht, "wie is wie?, download PDF Namen schutters op Nachtwacht achterhaald
(Bron: Blik op Nieuws) Amsterdam - Ruim 365 jaar na het schilderen van De Nachtwacht is eindelijk de identiteit bekend van de schutters die op het schilderij afgebeeld staan. Historicus Bas Dudok van Heel heeft dit mysterie ontrafeld, na jaren van onderzoek in archieven en boedelinventarissen, meldt het Rijksmuseum donderdag.
Ook is nu duidelijk geworden hoe de grote zaal van de Kloveniersdoelen, het huidige Doelen Hotel in Amsterdam, er precies uit heeft gezien, de zaal waarvoor Rembrandt De Nachtwacht oorspronkelijk heeft geschilderd.
Deze opzienbarende bevindingen zijn gepubliceerd in de eerste Engelstalige editie van The Rijksmuseum Bulletin dat vandaag gepresenteerd wordt op de Tefaf, de belangrijkste kunst- en antiekbeurs ter wereld, in Maastricht.

Identificatie van de schutters op de Nachtwacht
http://www.rtl.nl/components/actueel/rtlnieuws/miMedia/2009/week11/do_1930_nachtwac ht.avi_plain.xml Omstreeks 1715 werd al een schild met namen toegevoegd aan De Nachtwacht, achttien in totaal. Slechts in enkele gevallen was bekend welke naam bij welk gezicht hoorde. Dudok van Heel ging op zoek naar de mensen achter die namen. Hij onderzocht hun families, hun welstand en hun zakenrelaties. Hij vond zelfs in boedelinventarissen bepaalde stukken kleding en uitrusting die op De Nachtwacht zijn afgebeeld. Dit alles legde hij naast de leeftijden van de schutters in 1642, het jaar dat het schilderij werd voltooid. Zo wist hij iedere naam voor het eerst te koppelen aan een persoon afgebeeld op het schilderij |
