On what date did Rembrandt van Rijn die?

Rembrandt van Rijn died on 4 October 1669 in Amsterdam.

By the time of his death, Rembrandt was widely recognized as a major painter, but his finances had been troubled for years. He had lost much of his property after bankruptcy and lived more modestly than he had during his prosperous Amsterdam period.

Rembrandt’s death came after that of his partner Hendrickje Stoffels and his son Titus. His daughter Cornelia was the only close family member known to survive him. The inventory of his possessions was made after his death.

The date is sometimes confused with the year 1669 alone or with the dates of deaths in Rembrandt’s family. He was buried in Amsterdam’s Westerkerk, although the exact location of his grave is not marked by a surviving individual monument.
