As Rembrandt paints his most iconic work, The Night Watch, and is at the height of his fame, his wife Saskia lay dying. Her death begins a 10 year decline in Rembrandt's output of paintings, as he pours himself into etching instead. Many etchings are erotically charged, perhaps as a result of an affair he has begun with his infant son's nursemaid, which ends in her being committed to a house of correction - an apparent punishment Rembrandt himself took part in.

2019 marks 'Rembrandt Year', an international celebration of one of the world's most exalted artists, 350 years after his death. Though his artistic genius is today well recognised, there are mysteries and shadows still lurking in Rembrandt's personal life. How did an incendiary talent, in his youth the darling of Dutch high society, end up in a lowly rented grave? How could an artist made rich by the patronage of Amsterdam's wealthiest elite, come to declare bankruptcy? Why did he fall out of favour at a time when he was painting his greatest masterpieces?
