Rembrandt [antikvár]

L_____13 Rembrandt van Rijn, son of Harmen Gerritszoon van Rijn and Neeltge Willemsdr van Suydtbroek, was born in Leiden on 15 July 1606. Johannes Orlers records the fact in a guide to the wonders of Leiden published in 1641. It is the only documentary evidence of the artist's date of birth: we have to accept an element of uncertainty in the story of his rise to fame and glory.
