The beginning of A Career

Saskia• Saskia was Rembrandt’s first wife and
the cousin of Uylenburgh.• Shortly after they were married Saskia
died after giving birth to the only surviving child of four.
• Titus their son was born in 1642.• After the birth of Titus and the death of
Saskia Rembrandt’s luck seems to diminish until the end of his life.

Politics and Money
• The political struggles of Rembrandt’s time often left Rembrandt hungry for work.
• Without money or commissions he could not afford models.
• The lack of money helped Rembrandt to produce some of his most famous paintings.
• Rembrandt is well known for the self portraits that he painted using his skills and his collection of miscellaneous auction items that he picked up throughout his life.

The Final Days
• Rembrandt met his second wife. They were never legally married, due to a clause in Saskia’s will Rembrandt was prevented from a second marriage at the expense of losing Titus’s inheritance.
• He soon lost all of his possessions and lived off of Hendrickje and Titus’s business.
• They sold his art for him to save it from being collected by creditors.
