| Buyer Notes | Jacob Swalmius was apparently living with and/or working for the painter Gillis de Hondecoeter at this time. This may have been on the Singel where Hondecoeter was living when he buried a small child in the N.K. on 18 May 1633 (Oud Holland 3(1885), p. 152). Hondecoeter was buried on 17 October 1638 (Briels, Vlaamse schilders, p. 339). It is probably significant that Eleaser Swalmius, Jacob's uncle, was a witness to Hondecoeter's pre-nuptial contract on 1 March 1628 (Oud Holland, ibid.) Three years earlier, on November 17, 1635, he had signed as a witness, in the house of the testators, the will of Rembrandt van Rijn and Saskia van Uijlenburch. This was when Rembrandt was living on the Nieuwe Doelen. In the document he was called Jacob van der Swalme, but he signed Jacob Swalmus (Strauss, Rembrandt Documents, p. 121.) In 1637, Jacobus Swalmius again appeared as a buyer, this time tot Schelde Dirricxsz in de Molsteech. Schelde Dirricxsz. was an ironmonger, who may have taken in boarders (see R 34495). On 30 January 1647, Wilhelmus Delbuerch and Caetrina Swalmijus had their son Elijaszer baptized in the presence of Hendrick Swalmius and Gerrit Coenen (DTB 65/30). For the inventory of Eva Ruardus, the widow of Eleaser Swalmius, see INVNO 352). Hendrick Swalmius, the brother of Eleaser Swalmius, was also a predicant. He was appointed in Haarlem in 1625 and died in 1649. He may have been the father of Jacob Swalmius (On Eleaser and Hendricus Swalmius, see Van der Aa, Bibliographisch Woordenboek, vol. 6). On 31 August 1660, Adriaen Banck, merchant (whose first wife, Helena or Hilltje, was the daughter of Eleaser Swalmius), sold a number of paintings to his brother-in-law Adriaen Maen, of Schiedam, merchant. Among those was a painting of Lucretia by Van der Swalmen, sold for f. 85 (NA 2424, film 2557, not. Pieter van Toll, fol. 28 and foll.) | |
