REMBRANDT

Rembrandt Harmensz van Ryn, son of Harmen Gerritsz van Ryn, miller
(d. 1630), and Neeltge Willemsdochter (d. 1640), daughter of a
baker of Zuytbroeck; born at Leyden, July 15, 1606; entered Leyden
University as a student of letters, May 20, 1620, but left before
the end of the year; studied painting for about three years in his
native town under Jacob Isaaksz van Swanenburgh, and at the age of
seventeen for about six months under Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam;
settled in Leyden from 1624 until 1631, removing with his sister
Lysbeth to Amsterdam in the latter half of 1631; married Saskia
van Ulenburch, June 1634; from 1639 to 1658 lived in the
Breestraat (in the house which is now open to the public); lost
his wife in 1642; from about 1652 Hendrikje Stoffels, who had been
his servant, lived with him as his wife, until her death about
1664; Rembrandt's material success as a painter was
counterbalanced by his zeal for collecting works of art, and in
1656 he was forced by his creditors to declare bankrupt; an
inventory of the contents of his house, made in view of the sales
which took place in 1657 and 1658, is still preserved; the last
part of his life was spent in a lodging on the Rozengracht, and
all the money that he earned went to his creditors whom he never
satisfied; he died and was buried in the Westerkerk, Amsterdam,
October 4, 166
