Judge Scott Clarkson has a great website you need to visit – Rembrandt van Rijn — Bankrupt Printmaker, Art, love and insolvency in the 17th Century. As is said on the website, “Judge Clarkson’s hour-long lecture and PowerPoint presentation of the life and 1656 Bankruptcy of the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn paints a unique picture of art, personality, the loves of his life, and his overwhelming financial successes and failures. Scott will take his unique show to American University on November 1, 2019.
Take a look at the picture of the US Capitol that Scott uses for the background of the announcement. The picture was taken by my son Desmond (who also created and maintains this blog for me). Des and I were at the Space Museum late in the afternoon a few years ago and we walked out and the sun was shining through on the capitol on what was otherwise a very gloomy day. Thanks to Scott for thinking of Des.
