Biography[]

According to Houbraken he was a good portrait and history painter born in Maaslandsluis, who was a friend of the painter Christoffel Pierson, who was only three years younger than he, but whom he taught to paint in 1651.[1] Together they made a trip to Germany in 1653.[1] During his lifetime he painted for various courts in Germany and was still alive in 1661.[1]

According to the RKD he worked in Maassluis until 1661, when he moved to The Hague where he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura (and where he is registered as 'coming from The Hague', not Maassluis).[2] His pupil was Christoffel Pierson, and he is registered in Germany in the years 1684–1689, whereupon he returned to The Hague. He is known for portraits and religious works.[2]
