Calvinism may have wiped Catholic richness from the town's churches, but its painters make up for it with portraits and still lives. 

One such man is Jan Van Loos, commissioned by Cornelis Sandvoort to paint himself and his lovely young wife. But Jan no sooner sees Sophia than he falls in love with her and their shared passion forces themm into a mad, daring plan. As commercial Amsterdam succumbs to tulip fever, the young couple find themselves sucked into the vortex, with disastrous consequences."
