Abstract

[Rembrandt van Rijn was born in Leiden in 1606 of parents whose roots were also in Leiden. He attended the city's Latin School up to the age of about 14, but according to his first biographer, the Leiden burgomaster Jan Jansz. Orlers, he left prematurely because 'by nature he was moved toward the art of painting and drawing'. He may well have been at least partly inspired to do so by the early fame of the Leiden prodigy in the art of painting, Jan Lievens (1607-1674), who was actually a year younger than himself. Indeed, Lievens must have been already famous in Leiden while Rembrandt was still at school.]
