A master of light and shadow, Rembrandt in large part sparked the golden age of Dutch painting. The Treasures of Rembrandt captures the essence of his life, times, and work. In addition to exploring his recurring artistic themes, his self-portraits, his inspirational Biblical masterpieces, and his etchings and drawings, it looks at his childhood, marriage, artistic rise, and eventual fall toward bankruptcy. Twenty removable facsimile items include a preliminary sketch for "The Nighwatch," an announcement of his marriage, and a “For Sale” notice of Rembrandt's possessions.
