Over het werk

Christ preaches to a small circle of people. While the adults listen with baited breath, in the foreground a child lies drawing in the sand. The gathering is taking too long for him. In the 17th century, this scene was also referred to as ‘Latombisch printje’ or ‘La Petite Tombe’, after the Amsterdam printseller Pieter de la Tombe. Presumably he commissioned or owned the copperplate.

    Declaration of Insolvency

    Under pressure from creditors, Rembrandt declared himself insolvent (cessio bonorum) in July 1656 and voluntarily surrendered his property; by that time he had already transferred the house to his son.

  5. 1657–1658

    Sale of His Property and Collection

    Rembrandt's property and art collection were sold at auction; the detailed inventory listed 363 items — paintings, prints, antique busts, weapons, textiles, and exotic objects.

    Move to the Rozengracht

    After the house was sold at auction, the family left the prestigious Jodenbreestraat and moved to modest rented lodgings on the Rozengracht — a district of craftsmen and artists, where Rembrandt lived until the end of his life.
