Episode 2

The second of three episodes begins with the painting of Rembrandt's most iconic work - The Night Watch. We explore how events surrounding its creation began a 10-year decline in the artist's painterly output, with his attention diverted to creating erotically-charged etchings inspired by a series of affairs. With a reputation as the city's notorious marital embarrassment, and unable to manage his debts, Rembrandt declared bankruptcy - an act that came to define him even in the centuries after his death.
