Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2000.

This study examines the causes, circumstances, and effects of the 1656 declaration of bankruptcy by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (c.1606--1669). Following a highly successful early career, the artist's wealth dwindled and his patronage base grew slender, even while his international fame spread. By the summer of 1656 Rembrandt's personal finances had deteriorated to such an extent that he was left with few alternatives. Even though he operated narrowly within legal bounds, the artist's manner of evading his responsibility to his creditors was so socially disreputable that laws in Amsterdam were quickly altered to prevent such actions. To relieve his debts Rembrandt applied for cessio bonorum---literally, "surrender of goods"---a type of insolvency whereby he ceded control of his assets to be sold by the local municipal authorities in order to repay his creditors, who in turn could have no further claim on him. To this end, the artist's household effects and immense art collection were inventoried by a representative of a city agency called the Desolate Boedelskamer, or Chamber of Insolvent Estates, and then were sold along with the house itself over the course of the following two years.

520 $a This study examines the causes, circumstances, and effects of the 1656 declaration of bankruptcy by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (c.1606--1669). Following a highly successful early career, the artist's wealth dwindled and his patronage base grew slender, even while his international fame spread. By the summer of 1656 Rembrandt's personal finances had deteriorated to such an extent that he was left with few alternatives. Even though he operated narrowly within legal bounds, the artist's manner of evading his responsibility to his creditors was so socially disreputable that laws in Amsterdam were quickly altered to prevent such actions.

520 $a Rembrandt's poor management of his finances magnified other difficulties that he had with family, paramours, friends, neighbors, and patrons. Together, his economic and social exigencies affected his living and working environment, his public reputation, and his art. This study examines all of these aspects of the artist's financial problems, including his marketing practices, the appreciation of his work, and his relations with patrons, in addition to the details of the bankruptcy itself.
520 $a The study traces the documentary evidence from all periods of Rembrandt's life which shed light on its nadir, his bankruptcy. The artist's attitudes, actions and motivations are assessed in relation to the options available to him. A consideration of the maneuvers of the people around Rembrandt, especially his creditors, is a necessary complement. Several patterns of short-sighted decision-making emerge as Rembrandt conducted his affairs within a constantly changing framework of relationships, a shifting set of obligations, and evolving artistic pursuits.
