Commentary	Cornelis Aertsz. was a successful lumber merchant. He was married first to Mayke Lenaerts Burchmans and second, on 29 December 1635, to Trijntje Artus, the widow of the painter Jan Pynas (DTB 444/69). He was the father of the Rembrant apprentice Leenaert Cornelisz. van Beyeren of R 34463. On 29 January 1636, he declared before the Orphan Chamber that his four children, Aert (see below), 19, Lenaert (the Rembrandt pupil), 16, Neeltgen, 11, and Bayken, 8, whose late mother was Bayken Lenaerts Burchmans, were entitled to 12,000 f. plus a piece of gold worth 200 f. for their mother's inheritance (WK 5073/789). He did not mention his son Balthasar, born about 1623, who appeared in subsequent documents (see the NOTES to R 34410). A painting of a Roman's tronie by Aert van Beyeren was recorded in the faillit inventory of Abraham Jacobsz. Greven (which included a number of works by the Rembrandt epigone Salomon Koninck) (DBK 5072/367, INVNO 884).
