Leiden (city) 1606-07-15/1607
No date of birth or baptismal certificate is known. The first to mention a date of birth is Orlers in 1641 in the second edition of his 'Beschrijvinge der Stadt Leyden'. Orlers mentions July 15th, 1606 as Rembrandt's date of birth. Because in general Orlers is a reliable source, this information is thrustworthy. However, there are two 17th century documents on the basis of which another date of birth can be suspected. In the notice of marriage from Rembrandt and Saskia van Uylenburgh from June 10th, 1634 the age of Rembrandt is stated as 26 years. This would mean that Rembrandt wasn't born in 1606 but in 1607 or even in 1608 (Strauss/Van der Meulen 1979, doc. 1634/2). The second document is a statement of authenticity of a painting by Paul Bril on September 16th, 1653. The age of Rembrandt is stated here as 'out omtrent sessenveertich jaeren' (Strauss/Van der Meulen 1979, doc. 1653/16). This record also suggests 1607 as being the year of birth of the artist.

You may also come across references to other artists if there was/is question of collaboration without a joint name. This is the case, for instance, with artists who rendered parts of works by other artists (such as with P.P Rubens and J. Brueghel I).
