Around 1630, Rembrandt worked in his first Amsterdam years with art dealer Hendrick Uylenburgh. Hendrick’s network had a significant impact on Rembrandt.

Rembrandt painted between 1631 and 1634 at least fifty portraits. At the same time, Rembrandt experienced his first artistic breakthrough in 1632 with 'The anatomical lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp'. Two years later, in 1634, he was commissioned to immortalize the wealthy high society couple Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit.

For a few years I did extensive research, leading to my book of Rembrandt’s Money. The legal and financial life of an artist-entrepreneur in 17th century Holland. The first edition of the book Rembrandt’s Money, published in autumn 2021. It is nearly sold out.
