Looking for Rembrandt

To mark the 350th anniversary of his death, Looking for Rembrandt on BBC Four tells his fascinating story from his own perspective.
　　When Rembrandt died, having fallen on hard times and out of fashion, he left no diaries and fewer than ten letters. This unique documentary looks for fragments of this most contradictory personality and utilises a vivid cast of collectors, art restorers, hand surgeons, security consultants, insolvency lawyers, novelists, curators and graffiti artists. Seeking him in Amsterdam’s civic and legal archives, in his self-portraits, of which there are almost 90, and in his many different paintings, etchings, and drawings the programme recreates the voice of the artist to recount his own story.
