| Buyer Notes | Johannes de Renialme, merchant and art dealer, c. 1600-1657, was of Antwerp origin. He spent some time in Middelburg before settling in Amsterdam where he was first noted in 1629 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden p. 312). He was first married to Margrieta Bartolotti van den Heuvel (who died in 1630). Margrieta Bartolotti was a witness to the baptism of Salomon, son of the painter Adriaen van Nieulandt, in 1620 (R 20925). After the death of his first wife, he married Maria de Cocquel, the daughter of Jacques de Cocquel. On 25 June 1635, he transferred and sold to Pieter Cruytpenninck (Cruypenning) a great tannery and shoe mill (schoomolen) located in Sixmilebridge in the County of Thou in the Kingdom of Ireland, and leather for making soles valued at 2,000 f., the whole transfer amounting to 11,000 f. (NA 612, fol. 12, Not. Sybrant Cornelisz.) On 6 May 1637, Charles de Cocquel, the brother of Maria, declared that he owed his brother-in-law 1,600 (?) f. for the latter's share of the inheritance from Charles's father Jacques de Cocquel. Charles de Cocquel, on 9 February 1632, had approved an accounting of various goods in Jacques de Cocquel's estate, which were now (in 1637) turned over to Johannes de Renialme, to do as he saw fit. These included diamonds, wax statues, ivory wind instruments, seven viola da gambas (!), an iron press, some portraits, books, 67 maps, precious stones in a drawer, and so forth, proceeding from this inheritance (NA 642, film 4954, fol. 374). Cruypenning was married to Lucretia Coymans, the daughter of Jasper Coymans of R 31693. He remarried with Maria Weinrig from Delft in 1639 with whom he lived on the Keizersgracht. On 12 August 1640, Joannes de Renialme and Maria Wijnrig had their son Joannes baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Marcus de la Palma (DTB 42/211). The witness to the baptism is likely to be Marcus de la Palma II since the first of the name was already doing business before the Alteration of 1574. Marcus de la Palma I and his brother Salvador de la Palma were prominent Middelburg merchants, doing business together, dealing in goods captured by freebooters. (De Renialme spent some time in Middelburg before moving to Amsterdam and Delft). After the Alteration of 1574, Marcus I and Salvador both became burgomaster of Middelburg (V. Enthoven, Een symbiose tussen koopman en regent in Ondernemers & bestuurders (Lesger and Noordegraaf ed), pp. 209-210). Finally, on 1 January 1643, Johannes de Renialme married Catharina d'Overdage with whom he lived in de Salamander in Amsterdam (on the marriage, see Nederlandsche Leeuw 79(1962), col. 35). The Salamander may have been the house where Joannes Wtenbogaert (the Remonstrant preacher) had lived in 1631, on the Kloveniersburgwal. De Renialme, at the time of his death in 1657, was living on the Fluwele Burchwal. He was buried on 20 April 1657 (Strauss, Rembrandt Documents, p. 187.) On 12 March 1636, Willem van Tongeren (silk cloth dealer, cited in R 36435) and Pieter Cruypenninck reached an agreement concerning an obligation, incurred and signed on 30 November 1634, which Van Tongeren had guaranteed. Van Tongeren agreed to pay Cruypenninck 3,740 f. as part of the settlement (NA 413, fol. 216 and foll.) After Cruypenninck's death (he was buried on 17 April 1639), Lucretia had the paintings in an attic belonging to Lambert Massa (of R 32152), which were said to belong to Johannes de Renialme, inventorized. One of these paintings was a priest by Rembrandt (INVNO 1040). It would appear that Cruypenninck was in some sort of business association with De Renialme, probably as a financing partner of De Renialme's art trading business. This emerges from an agreement dated 18 March 1650 where De Renialme and Lucretia Coeymans, assisted by the Notary Eggericx, agreed to settle their differences and to liquidate all their joint accounts (alle reckeningen tot diesen dage). Lucretia Coymans had apparently sued De Renialme. The latter agreed to pay her 3,000 f. to settle all her claims, in three 1,000 f. installments over the next two and a half years. The debts seem to have arisen, at least in part, during Pieter Cruypenninck's life time (NA 1818, film 2083, Not. Eggericx). On De Renialme's art sales to the Grand Elector Friederich Wilhelm, see the TEXT to R 100 of Montias1. For the 1640 inventory of paintings belonging to De Renialme, see INVNO 1040; for the 1657 inventory of the paintings left after his death, see INVNO 180. De Renialme's widow had the inventory made after receiving from a high court a letter of mandament which gave her the benefit of inventory. This suggests that De Renialme was more or less insolvent at the time of his death. | |
