Rembrandt, the Bankrupt

Among the list of famous persons who have declared bankruptcy is Rembrandt van Rijn. A book by Washington University's Paul Crenshaw, Rembrandt's Bankruptcy, explores the reasons and effects of Rembrandt's financial troubles. The book was first published in February 2006, but it just came to my attention today. Thus, I have not had a chance to read it, but the comments are open for those who have and want to offer their own thumbnail review.

As with any literary or other of my posts that even remotely have a touch of the fine arts, thanks to Buce over at Underbelly for the tip.
