Jan LievensLeyden, 1614. Cloth merchant's son Jan Lievens and miller-brewer's son Rembrandt Van Rijn become best buddies, inseparable, each brat determined throughout their studies to become Holland's best painter or even the world's. They dream of becoming court painters in 'artistic desert' England if introduced by Constantijn Huygens, highly cultivated secretary to the stadtholder of the Duch republic, and a friend of king James. Opportunistic Lievens and stubborn Rembrandt, whose father dies without ever having shown his pride, become rivals for a home commission Rembrandt wins, Jan leaves for England.
