Rembrandt is perhaps one of the most famous painters in the world. During the 17th century, Rembrandt was able to become quite successful and his studio grew into a true ‘painter’s empire’. He was also a collector, he bought many ‘rarities’ from exotic countries. His expensive hobby of collecting and the loan on his large house became problematic at a certain time in his life. So his wealthy life came to an end when he went bankrupt and had to move to a small studio in the ‘Jordaan’ where he started to paint in a different art style.
