Along the way, the book also sheds light on on the socio-economic, cultural and historical context of the period covered and the environments (citizenry of Amsterdam, complex religious circles, business network) Rembrandt interacted with. The reader will reach a deeper understanding of the local and social Amsterdam history and a part of its local legal system.

This book fills a lacuna and adds to the growing interest in the better understanding the financials and legal aspects of Rembrandts life, including its wider background of art, society, trade and commerce in 17th century Dutch Golden Age. The book will firstly appeal to legal and financial professionals interested in #Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age#.

Lastly, the publication will also appeal to enthusiasts and collectors who are interested in Rembrandt himself, including art historians.
