My Rembrandt

Filmmaker Oeke Hoogendijk is no stranger to the world of art. For her film Het Nieuwe Rijksmuseum (2014), Hoogendijk followed the large-scale renovation of the world-famous museum for a decade. She once again delves into the world of the Old Masters in her new documentary, creating a cinematic mosaic of touching stories of people with a boundless passion for Rembrandt's paintings.

French baron Éric de Rothschild, for example, puts two Rembrandts up for sale, triggering a determined political fight between the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre. The film also follows art dealer Jan Six as he seems to be on the trail of two "new" Rembrandt paintings. It would be the realization of his biggest boyhood dream, but Hoogendijk's camera also registers how he is accused of having violated an agreement with another art dealer.
