Rembrandt went back to Leiden and built his own art painting studio with his friend, Jan Lievens.

He also made many engravings and etchings. Secretary of the governor Prince Frederick Hendrick gave the opportunity to help Rembrandt got commissions of paintings jobs and let him get fame. In 1630, Rembrandt went to Amsterdam, he lived in the house of, Hendrick van Uylenburgh who was an art dealer.
