Commentary	On 25 April 1642, Isaak Jacobsz. van Horn, painter, 23 years old, assisted by his mother Trijntje Jeuriaens, living on the Princengracht, was betrothed to Machtelt Jans, from Amsterdam, 25, assisted by her mother, Heyltie Baerens, living on the Oude Heeregracht (DTB 457/367). On 27 August 1649, Isack Jacobsz. van Hooren, painter, and his wife the honorable Machteltge Jans, passed their testament. After the death of his first wife, he was betrothed to Metge Pieters Nieustadt on 20 April 1650 (DTB 467/579). On 19 February 1651, Isaack Jacobsz. and Metje Pieters had their son Pieter baptized in the N.K. (DTB 43/169). In his new testament, Isaack Jacobsz. van Hooren named as the guardian of his children Jan de Leeuw and the painter Dirck Dircksz. Santvoort (who, together with Hendrick Uylenburgh, evaluated the paintings in this inventory) (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 770). He died in 1652. On 3 September 1652, Heyltje Barens, the mother of his first wife Machtelt Jans, made some claims on the inheritance of Isaack van Horen on behalf of her grandchildren. She claimed 100 f. for half the movable goods, 10 f. for cash, and 1,300 f. from an inheritance (Bredius, ibid.) On 26 March 1653, his widow Metge Pietersdr. deposited 1300 f. from the inheritance cited above with the Orphan Chamber on behalf of Isaack's children from his first marriage, Jacob, 6 years old, and Jan, 8 years old (Bredius, op. cit. p. 771). Isaack Jacobsz. van Hooren was active in Amsterdam between 1620 and 1651 (Kopstukken 1600-1800 (Middelkoop ed.), p. 286). Bredius reproduced a family portrait of Isaack Jacobsz. van Horen, dated 1649 (Bredius, op.cit., p. 301 of the Nachträge). It should be noted that Isaack Jacobsz. van Hooren was not the son of Jacob Claesz. van Hooren of INVNO 813, who was married with Weijntje van Neck, who survived her husband. He also must not be confused with Isaack Jansz. van Hooren, the son of Jan Claesz. van Hooren and Grietje van Neck (cited in the NOTES to R 32149 of Montias2).
