SEASON: 1
SYNOPSIS
As Rembrandt paints his most iconic work, "The Night Watch', and is at the height of his fame, his wife Saskia lay dying. Her death begins a 10 year decline in Rembrandt's output of paintings, as he pours himself into etching instead. Many etchings are erotically charged, perhaps as a result of an affair he has begun with his infant son"s nursemaid.
