Rembrandt led an eventful life, full of highs and lows. Every episode we follow his life through the eyes of another. Four completely different people, who were close to the artist, each offer their own perspective on Rembrandt's character. An original and penetrating portrait.

The series is structured in such a way that every episode a different character looks at Rembrandt van Rijn. In the first episode the friend and rival (Jan Lievens); in the second episode his great love (Saskia van Uylenburgh); in the third episode a resentful ex-pupil (Govert Flink); and finally his bastard daughter (Cornelia van Rijn). From their point of view we see the degeneration of an ambitious painter into the genius he would later turn out to be. However, because of this fragmented way of telling, I often had the feeling that Rembrandt van Rijn's character development himself was somewhat overlooked. The different storylines could and should have come together more sharply, so that there would be a little more sense of coherence and cause/effect.

The most sinful thing about the series is the limitation imposed by the small budget. The streets of Amsterdam and Leiden are almost dead in the series; I never got the feeling that I was watching real people in a real world. Sometimes some glitches also creep into the picture (such as a power socket clearly in the picture) that breaks some of the magic. Although the production scores points with the dazzlingly beautiful decoration with costumes and set designs. For a series of this stature - compelling historical drama about one of our own icons - they manage to put down something within the available budget that sufficiently sticks. Particularly captivating in how Rembrandt's life comes together with the themes of his well-known paintings, making it a great tribute to an interesting historical figure.
