Saskia's will let Rembrandt use their son's inheritance only if he never remarried, and he lived unmarried and went bankrupt

Rembrandt married Saskia van Uylenburgh on 22 June 1634. In 1638 her Frisian relatives complained that she was squandering her inheritance. In 1639 Rembrandt bought a house on the Sint Antonisbreestraat for 13,000 guilders. Three of their four children died as infants. On 5 June 1642 Saskia made her will. Their son Titus, nine months old, was sole heir. Rembrandt had the use of her estate on condition that he did not remarry. She died nine days later, aged 29. From about 1647 Hendrickje Stoffels kept his house. The will's terms kept them from marrying. In 1654, pregnant, she was summoned before the Reformed Church council for "living in sin" and barred from communion. Rembrandt stopped paying for the house in 1649. In 1656 he applied for cessio bonorum and surrendered his goods to the city for sale. The house and his collection sold over two years for little. Titus, owed his mother's share, became first creditor. In 1660 Hendrickje and Titus set up an art-dealing firm so creditors could not seize new paintings. Hendrickje was buried in 1663. Titus married in February 1668 and was buried that September. Rembrandt died on 4 October 1669. Titus's daughter Titia was baptised in March 1669 and inherited his estate. The house is now the Rembrandt House Museum.
