Rembrandt's Money
Imagine, you had in just one live around 25 legal conflicts and battles of all kinds! With clients about the quality of your work or about sharp business prices.
With your neighbor about the costs of reconstruction of your house.
Or for the transfer of your house to a family member to escape you creditors. Yes, I know, it's not you..
Who is this? We’re talking Rembrandt, the world famous painter from the Dutch Golden Age.
I am Bob Wessels and I am from the Netherlands. I am a veteran lawyer with fifty (50) years of legal working experience. In my podcasts I will tell you my opinion on these and many other matters.
In 2021, I published my book “Rembrandt’s Money. The legal and financial life of an artist-entrepreneur in 17th century Holland.” It has received very positive reviews, in England, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Throughout the year 2024 I will deliver a podcast every fourteen days with an episode of fascinating and telling stories about Rembrandt business and financial affairs. Every episode is between 15-20 minutes, and all are for free.
So if you are on your way to work, in the airport waiting in the lounge, exercising or running, on a journey in a car, train or plane or just have an hour free: welcome to my podcast and learn more about this rather unknown side of Holland’s most famous painter!
Looking forward to connect!

Rembrandt's Money
RM24011 - Rembrandt's insolvency
Welcome, or welcome back again.
When I tell people that Rembrandt, the famous Dutch painter, went bankrupt, half of them just didn't know. The other half had sometimes, some only vaguely, heard of it. Most people would like to know a lot more about it.
Well, the this podcast caters to their needs.
This happens in two ways. By telling the story, in short and summarized, in about twenty minutes mentioning my most important findings.
And by writing, a larger piece. This is published as an addendum to the podcast and can be visited via www.rembrantsmoney.com. It will cover the most important legal rules that apply to the this banktruptcy proceeding. Note, these are rules from almost 400 years ago. One has to know these rules, because they have to be applied to the few facts we know about Rembrandts financial position.
