| Buyer Notes | The buyer, Hendrick van Os, was an important merchant in the beginning of the 17th century. Born in Antwerp, circa 1556, he was one year older than his brother Dirck van Os I, with whom he was associated in a firm carrying on a large amount of business. Dirck van Os I, who was married with Margareta van der Piet, was originally from Antwerp. He spent some time in Middelburg before settling in Amsterdam, where he is first noted in 1588 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 310). Dirck died in 1615, Hendrick probably not long afterwards. On 14 February 1604, Hendrick van Os, 48 years old, from Antwerp, assisted by his brother Dirck van Os, was betrothed to Lijnken Willems (van Laenen), 44, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal, on 14 February 1604 (DTB 411/157). Dirck van Os II, the son of Dirck van Os I, became Dijckgraef van Beemster. On 19 December 1608, Dirck van Os (II), from Amsterdam, 37, assisted by his brother Francoijs van Os, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal, was betrothed to Helena van Oyre van Neurenburgh, assisted by her nigt Margareta van Pes (Nederlandsche Leeuw 23(1905), col. 43). Dirck van Os III, the son of Anna Wyntgens and David van Os (a son of Dirck van Os II), was portrayed by Rembrandt in 1661. He drowned at sea in 1671. The brothers Dirck and Hendrick van Os invested 47,000 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares in 1602 (the third highest sum among the South Netherlanders) and 11,700 f. in the second in 1612 (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, pp. 81 and 259)). The firm of the brothers Van Os lent 200,000 f. to Arent Cornelisz. Coster (of R 21396) in 1608. Their account at the Wisselbank filled 3 folios in 1609, 1611, and 1612 and 5 folios in 1615 (Van Dillen, op.cit. p.111). In 1606, Hendrick van Os, living on the Oude Zijde, bought lots for 6 f. in the Haarlem lottery (GAA, 98/15 F 735). Hendrick van Os was acquainted with Karel van Mander (I), who cited in his Schilder-boeck paintings in his collection by Gillis van Coninxloo, Cornelis Ketel, Hans van Aachen, Paulus Bril and Jacques de Geyn (M.J. Bok, Art-Lovers and Their Paintings, Dawn of the Golden Age, Exh. Cat. 1994/5, p. 141). He was also an early collector of Venetian paintings. On Hendrick van Os's collection, see also, Saskia Cohen-Nilsen, Een schilderij van Jacomo Palma il Giovane in een vroeg zeventiende-eeuwse verzameling, Oud Holland 113(1999), pp. 175-180. It took many years after the death of Dirck and Hendrick van Os before their estate was settled. On 30 January 1637, Philippe van der Straeten, son-in-law of Hendrick van Os, declared that various persons had claims on the estate of Hendrick van Os. There was in particular a claim on a fourth share in the kunsten, teckeningen, plaeten, pampieren, francynen, boecken --nieuwe ende oude--madalen, schilderyen en rariteyten naegelaten by Hendrick van Os sal. (NA 409, film 4787). According to a declaration of 17 March 1616, Philippe (or Philips) van der Straten had employed a carpenter in de Beemster whom he paid 21 stuivers per day (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.P.G. 78(1933), p. 149). | |
