The Night Watch was painted by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1642. It’s a very large painting that displayed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. It’s an oil on canvas painting, measuring nearly twelve by fourteen feet. The Night Watch was originally called The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenhurch. It’s a group portrait of a militia company. The title was misleading by majority of people, it is because the light and shadow on this painting seems the event was happened during night. Although this painting was known as many formal elements such as light and shadow, color, and space, composition plays the strongest role and is the most attracting part in this work. The Night Watch was commissioned by Captain Frans Banning
The watch in the foreground is red, the middle-ground watch is orange, and the background watch is gray representing the past, present and future in accordance with Einstein’s theory of everything, changing time and space. All three watches point to the top center of the painting which
The painting that I chose to write my formal analysis on is called “The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, At Night”.

This painting is oil on canvas, and it is currently housed in the Kroller-Muller Museum located in Otterlo, The Netherlands in Europe.
Night is a novel written from the perspective of a Jewish teenager, about his experiences
Through his first-person memoir Night, Elie Wiesel reveals that people experience changes in their attitude as they become products of their environments.
Night is significant in the novel Night. During the night is when all the terrible events occur. One example of a terrible event is when the SS came for the Jews. Night is portrayed the same way in the novel as it is in life. Night is dark and you can not see what is happening. In Night, by Elie Wiesel, it explains how during the night you do not know what could happen next, or how to prevent yourself from dying and stay alive.
There are many types of darkness, but none as dark as when man turns against man. Night by Elie Wiesel is a book which explores life in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. The title, “Night” is significant to the story as it expresses darkness both physically and within the psyche of the Nazis. During the night, people are filled with fear of the unknown. Night also depicts a time when a person has fewer options.
Night by Elie “Eliezer” Wiesel is a story that contains many conclusions about humanity as a whole, including the idea that if humans are treated as if they aren 't human, and are deprived from proper human interaction, then they are quick to act uncivilized, almost feral. It 's unsettling how quickly people can switch to a primal way of thinking, and can take a very long time to return to a more humane way of thinking. Some people never do.
“Fifteen. No. You’re eighteen.”. This book is titled Night, by Elie Wiesel and this is about Elie Wiesel when he was a teenager, but then suddenly a friend, a man at that time had been seemingly insane; however, the madman spoke the truth, but the way he expressed it made no one believe him. Until more than a year or so had passed, then all of these “displeasing” events has been occurring and then changed their whole life in that one moment. The theme is that no matter the circumstance( for example having an progressing ladder towards hell) the inner soul has an unbreakable will. To sum it up in simpler terms being forced by a much greater power and turning his identity into a fantasy type peasant going through many punishments, the protagonist
Night opens with a short description of a poor man named Moshe the Beadle, who lives in the hometown of Transylvania. Moche is generally well liked, works in the Hasidic synagogue, and is a very spiritual and humble. In 1941, when he is twelve, the narrator, Eliezer Wiesel, wants to study the cabbala but his father tells him that he is too young. Eliezer's father is highly regarded in the Jewish community and pays more attention to outside matters than to family ones; Eliezer has two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and a younger one,Tzipora. Despite his father's lack of support, Eliezer decides to study the cabbala anyway and chooses Moché as his teacher. Moche teaches him not to search for answers from God, but rather to try to ask the right
War traumatizes men by stripping them of their humanity and transforming them into living corpses. Eliezer begins his life as a free man by indulging himself to an intemperate amount of food. His binging results in food poisoning, and he recovers in a hospital for several weeks. When Eliezer finally confronts himself in the mirror, he does not see himself. Although he survived the war physically, his soul died from the suffering and carnage he experienced and endured. This image of himself reminds him of how much he has lost—his faith, his family, and his life. Therefore, the harsh and demanding conditions of war create soul-less humans, or living

In 1628, especially debating of Peter and Paul, Rembrandt added to a system by which the lit sections in the innovative creation are fundamentally accumulated in one zone, in a manner of speaking, to the point that shadow is depended upon to detached the unmistakable structures. By get-together light tones of yellow, blue, pink, green, and unmistakable tones, he added to a game-plan of bevriende kleuren ("related [or related] tints"). This area of the course of action was incorporated by conceivable social events of darker tones that had the front line and foundation and particularly the edges and corners of the work. Through this strategy Rembrandt not just made a concentrated, about furnacelike, power of the light, nevertheless he in like
These two paintings represent different techniques of color application with the various aspects of color.

After looking beyond the focal point, to the left of that clock and even a little bit closer is a pocket watch. This watch is in a contrasting orange color. This is the only orange used in the painting. The placing of the pocket watch is strategic, as it too is on the shelf with the most recent memory, but the line and angle of the shelf automatically pulls your eye to it. The pocket watch is closed and highly decorated with black. Although, the viewer cannot make out what the clock is decorated in, it seems to convey that this clock is very important to the scene. The onlooker might even see this as a memory that has not been opened yet. Something grand will take place in this time line portrayed by this painting.
