The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis is a 1661–62 oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt which was originally the largest he ever painted at around 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.
