Summary
In 1641, the Dutch master is at the height of his success. Unchallenged by portraits of the rich and famous, Rembrandt indulges other pursuits like splurging at auctions and helping his adolescent neighbor, Samuel. After trying to run away, Samuel agrees to work as Rembrandt's studio apprentice to appease his father, a respected rabbi who wants his son to be a scholar. Samuel thrives in the studio as a talented printmaker. Meanwhile, Rembrandt struggles with a commission for a militia commander, but he abandons it completely when his wife dies after childbirth. He also neglects his infant son. When a dismayed Samuel convinces the artists to fulfil his parental duties, he finally understands his own father
