Commentary	Cornelis Joan Reyxse was the son of the wealthy ship builder Jan Ricksen and of Griet Jans Rijcksen, who were portrayed by Rembrandt in 1634. They lived on the Rapenburg until Jan Rijcksen's death in 1637. They were Roman Catholic (Strauss, Rembrandt Documents, p. 440). Cornelis Joan, who was a master carpenter in the service of the V.O.C., was the brother of Johannes Rijcksz., probably of R 34732 of Montias2. On 10 October 1637, the honorable Griet Jans, widow of Jan Rijcksz, was assisted in an act by her son Cornelis Jan Rijcksz. (NA 598, fol. 383, Not. Lamberti). Cornelis Jan Rijcksz. was married to Marritge Dircx. Pieter Blau (Blaeu) (1637-1706), cited in the INTRO, the second son of the book publisher Joan Blau, was one of the heirs (on account of his wife) of Cornelis Joan Reyxse (Maandblad Amstelodamum 49(1962), p. 181). His wife may have been Martina Piemont (loc. cit.)
