Rembrandt's Money

Bob Wessels

Imagine, you had in just one live around 25 legal conflicts and battles of all kinds! With clients about the quality of your work or about sharp business prices.

With your neighbor about the costs of reconstruction of your house.

Or for the transfer of your house to a family member to escape you creditors. Yes, I know, it's not you..

Who is this? We’re talking Rembrandt, the world famous painter from the Dutch Golden Age.

I am Bob Wessels and I am from the Netherlands. I am a veteran lawyer with fifty (50) years of legal working experience. In my podcasts I will tell you my opinion on these and many other matters.

In 2021, I published my book “Rembrandt’s Money. The legal and financial life of an artist-entrepreneur in 17th century Holland.” It has received very positive reviews, in England, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Throughout the year 2024 I will deliver a podcast every fourteen days with an episode of fascinating and telling stories about Rembrandt business and financial affairs. Every episode is between 15-20 minutes, and all are for free.

So if you are on your way to work, in the airport waiting in the lounge, exercising or running, on a journey in a car, train or plane or just have an hour free: welcome to my podcast and learn more about this rather unknown side of Holland’s most famous painter!

Looking forward to connect!

RM24010 - Transferring the house to Titus

RM24010 - Transferring the house to Titus

Welcome or welcome back again! Rembrandt was 32 and Saskia 26 when they purchased a large house and premises in the Breestreet in Amsterdam. The contract dates from 1639. The house formed a part of their marital community of property. Seventeen years later, in 1656, Rembrandt transferred the house to his son Titus. Until 2019, it was assumed that Rembrandt indeed transferred ownership of the house to Titus and by doing so, he harmed the interests of his creditors. The question arose whether Rembrandt wanted to harm his creditors or whether he wanted to take care of the future of his partner Hendrickje, their illegitimate child Cornelia and his son Titus. This legal event has been extensively studied and debated in the literature. There are several theories and questions as to whether creditors had the right to annul this transaction (which took place so close to Rembrandt’s filing for insolvency. These two questions are at the heart of my podcast today. Was it a transfer of ownership of the house to Titus? And did Rembrandt harm the interests of his creditors.

RM24009 - Geertje Dircx

This we didn't know until the 1960s: Rembrandt had a relationship with his housekeeper and caretaker of his son Titus. Her name was Geertje Dircx and she was about four years younger than Rembrandt.It was shortly after Saskia's death. Geertje Dircks became Titus' caretaker in 1642. Rembrandt began a relationship with her. Later, this relationship became a thorny path full of legal disputes. That lasted until the mid-1650s. Geertje is listed as one of Rembrandt's creditors. 1.

RM24007 - Amsterdam - City of migrants

Welcome, or welcome back again! This time I will be taking you back to swirly Amsterdam in the first half of the 17th century and its mixed population. Migration is is deeply anchored in Amsterdam's DNA. Since the 16th century, many thousands of newcomers have settled there every year, whether refugees of faith, or persons in search of a better life. And this migration is the driving force behind the enormous diversity, that still characterizes Amsterdam today. How did Rembrandt view these newcomers? In this episode of the podcast, wonderI how migrants and their descendants are reflected in Rembrandt's work. Spoiler alert: I am walking seven-league boots through the interesting history of migration to the Netherlands and Amsterdam. At the end of our high-speed journey, I will briefly look at the tympanum on the front façade of the current Royal Palace on Dam Square in Amsterdam – a glorious expression of urban pride. Can migrants and their descendants recognize themselves in it?1. Idea, research, author, and narration: Bob Wessels: linkedin.com/in/bobwessels 2.

RM24006 - Rembrandt’s marriage to Saskia

Rembrandt married Saskia Uylenburgh in 1634. The marriage must have been the talk of the town. The great painter Rembrandt and Saskia, daughter of a former mayor of Leeuwarden and a high-ranking senior administrator in the province of Friesland – their union must have received a lot of attention. But there were no newspapers in those days. So, what do we know about the marriage? 1. Idea, research, author, and narration: Bob Wessels: linkedin.com/in/bobwessels2.

Around 1630, Rembrandt worked in his first Amsterdam years with art dealer Hendrick Uylenburgh. Hendrick’s network had a significant impact on Rembrandt.Rembrandt painted between 1631 and 1634 at least fifty portraits. At the same time, Rembrandt experienced his first artistic breakthrough in 1632 with 'The anatomical lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp'. Two years later, in 1634, he was commissioned to immortalize the wealthy high society couple Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit. 1.
