| Buyer Notes | On 2 August 1597, Guillam Bassee (Bassen), silk dyer, from Rijssel (Lille), 28, living in the Verwerijen in the Nieustadt, was betrothed to Jenne Arondeau, from Valenciennes, 25, assisted by Oliver Arondeau and Maria Flanquet, her parents (DTB 408/208). He was the son of the painter Jan Basse I and the brother of the painter Jan Basse II (of INVNO 832). In 1606, Guillame Basse, dyer, living on the Amstel in de vergulde Lellie, bought lots for 1 f. 16 st. in the Haarlem lottery. His entry read Rien sans dieu (GAA 131/35 F 828). He witnessed the marriage contract of his sister Sara Basse with the painter Jacques de Ville on 28 February 1613, also in the presence of his brother Jean Basse. On 10 March 1627, Pieter Varlet (on whom, see R 32347 and 22043), Harman Willemsz., Hans Pietersz. (of R 29891), and Guillame Basse, all dyers and sworn headmen of the dyers' guild, made a deposition regarding the poor quality of some silk passement or cord that had been submitted to them for evaluation by the magistrates of Arnhem to ascertain its quality (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P.78(1933), p. 623). On 10 January 1639, Guiljam Basse, silk dyer, 69, declared that in 1606 the house next to the Rouen Poort that he had bought from Paulus Buys, merchant (I), had been bought from him from Jan Londerseel. There was a dispute on the exact measurements of the court (erv) (NA 921, Not. Barent Jansz. Verbeeck). Jan (or Hans) van Londerseel was an engraver, originally from Antwerp. N. de Roever suggested that this lot might be identical with een stucxken van Joris van Cleef in the death inventory of Gillis van Coninxloo (een stuxken van Joris van Cleef) (Oud Holland, 3(1885), p. 43.) There was some confusion in the early 17th century as to the true identity of Sotte Cleef, who was often thought to be Joost (or Joris) van Cleve but is now believed to be Cornelis van Cleve. Gulliam Basse was buried on 20 March 1652, coming from the NZ Achterburchwal (DTB 1003/106). | |
