The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis (Dutch: De samenzwering van de Bataven onder Claudius Civilis; Swedish: Batavernas trohetsed till Claudius Civilis) is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt, c. 1661–62, which was originally the largest he ever painted, at about five by five metres in the shape of a lunette. The painting was commissioned by the Amsterdam city council for the Town Hall. After the work had been in place briefly, it was returned to Rembrandt, who may have never been paid. Rembrandt drastically cut down the painting to a quarter of the original size to be sold. It is the last secular history painting he finished.[1]
