| Buyer Notes | The buyer seems to be identical with Pieter de Witt, the son or nephew of the stockviskooper Jan Pietersz. de Witt (or de With) who died in 1621. He was apparently also the grandson of Pieter Jansz. de Witt (I), who was beheaded on 9 October 1568 for his failure to pay the proceeds of his tax farming to the R.C.- dominated administration of Amsterdam (and perhaps also for his Protestant sympathies) (Maandblad Amstelodamum57(1970), p. 143). Pieter Jansz. de Witt was born in Amsterdam on 22 September 1593. He was lord of the seigneurie of Resenburg, kerckmeester of the Noorderkerk in 1637, and was taxed 300 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 293vo, p. 67). He married Geertruid van Haze, the daughter of Jeronimus de Haze (of R 29604) and of Helena van Juchteren on 2 November 1625 (Elias, Vroedschap, p.283). When he purchased a lot in 1614 (R 27480), Pieter de Witt was said to be living achter Hendrick Buick. Hendrick Buyck (1551-1613) was the brother of Jacob Buyck, the last pastor of the Oude Kerck, who fought against the Alteration. In the freighting contracts of 1591-1602, Buijck's name comes up several times. He invested 12000 f. in V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 108.) Buijck lived on the O.Z. Achterburchwal. Pieter de Witt, merchant in Amsterdam, according to a deposition dated 26 November 1619, declared at the request of the painter Jacob van Nieulandt, representing Franchoijs Seghers, living in Antwerp, that about two years ago, at the public sale of the heirs of the late Louis Vincon (Ludovicus Finson), he had bought a painting, being the Crucifixion of St. Andrew, that the sellers held to be by Michel Angelo Caravaggio (Oud Holland 4(1886), p. 8). Pieter Jansz. de Witt II was buried in the N.K. on 13 June 1642, coming from the Herengracht, where he was already living in 1631. After De Witt's death, Geertruyd de Haze remarried with Mr. Hendrick Meyster on 2 May 1645. Hendrick Meyster was related to the Buijck family (S.A.C. Dudok van Heel and M.J. Bok, De Amsterdamse achtergrond van Mr. Everard Meyster (1617-1679) in Album Amicorum W.A. Wijburg, Woerde, 2001, p. 143.) Pieter de Wit was the grandson of the harring dealer Pieter Jansz. de Wit and of Maria Cornelis Bosschenaers. | |
