Rembrandt's life has always been an enigma. How did a miller's son
from a provincial Dutch town become the greatest artist in the
world? With his formative years shrouded in mystery, the only
remaining evidence of Rembrandt's life as a young man is his work.
Deeply rooted in the turbulent changes that his hometown was
undergoing, Rembrandt's early paintings tell a fascinating story of
artistic evolution against the backdrop of the widening horizons of
Leiden's cultural and commercial life during the Dutch Golden Age.
Leiden's good fortune facilitated Rembrandt's. But who was that
young man inventing himself as the city around him grew and
prospered? How did Rembrandt become Rembrandt? To find out, Leiden
native Onno Blom immersed himself in the world, the country, the
city and the house in which Rembrandt was born in 1606 and where he
spent the first twenty-five years of his life. The result is a
fascinating portrait of the artist as a young man, rich in local
and biographical detail, and restless in its efforts to seek out
the roots of his genius.
