Bag om Rembrandt's Promise

An orange sun burns low in the sky. I fold my arms on the sill, cup my elbows. Pink clouds streak a horizon of rooftops, spires, the sails of distant windmills. Soon the master will be home. Last night, I made him doubt me.This time, I will make him certain. 1642. The Dutch Golden Age is underway, with rapidly expanding Amsterdam at the height of its powers. Geertje, an impoverished widow from Edam, enters a melting pot of wealth and culture when she becomes nursemaid in the house of renowned painter, Rembrandt.

After Rembrandts wife, Saskia, dies, Geertje grows close to the ardent but volatile painter, despite her loyal cousin Trijn warning her to leave his house. Realising she has idealised her late husband, Geertje begins a passionate affair with Rembrandt.
