This we didn't know until the 1960s: Rembrandt had a relationship with his housekeeper and caretaker of his son Titus. Her name was Geertje Dircx and she was about four years younger than Rembrandt.

It was shortly after Saskia's death. Geertje Dircks became Titus' caretaker in 1642. Rembrandt began a relationship with her. Later, this relationship became a thorny path full of legal disputes. That lasted until the mid-1650s. Geertje is listed as one of Rembrandt's creditors.

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.
