In spite of his genius, van Rijn's determinedly eccentric behavior alienates the very members of the elite who were paying his bills. At one point, the artist's home and belongings, including many of his paintings, are seized and sold for humiliatingly low prices in a rigged auction.Rembrandt featuring Klaus Maria Brandauer and Romane Bohringer is streaming with subscription on Kanopy, free on Tubi, and available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.
