- SynopsisThe last years of the painter's life from the death of his wife Saskia in 1642, to his own death in 1669. (Synopsis)
- Work historyThe following statement regarding the story appears after the opening credits: 'In the seventeenth century Holland was a world power, her ships carried treasure to Amsterdam from all parts of the earth. But her proudest glory was the son of a miller from Leyden, Rembrandt van Rijn, the greatest painter that has ever lived. He died in obscurity, his belongings worth no more than a few shillings. Today no millionaire is worth the money the works of Rembrandt would realise, if ever offered for sale.'
