Portrait of a man

Cornelis van der Voort or van der Voorde (1576 – buried on 2 November 1624) was a Dutch portrait painter from the early 17th century who was active in Amsterdam. He painted individual portraits as well as group portraits including schuttersstukken depicting local militia members.[1]

Life[edit]

Very little is known about van der Voort's early life. He was born in Antwerp as the son of Pieter van der Voort, a painter. The family van der Voort moved to the Northern Netherlands in 1585, likely because they were Calvinists. It is thought he studied with Cornelis Ketel. As a young man he was praised by Karel van Mander. In 1606 his brother Hans, a tailor, bought three parcels on which two houses were built. Hans moved into the one on the corner, and Cornelis in the one next to it.[2] Only a few years later Cornelis sold the house. In 1639 Rembrandt and his wife Saskia van Uylenburgh moved in. Today it is the Rembrandt House Museum.

Around 1613 he was a member of the schutterij and painted a few schuttersstukken. In 1619 he was the head of the Guild of St. Luke. At some time before 1620 he inherited the house on the corner of the Sint Antoniesbreestraat from his brother.

Van der Voort probably had seven children and married twice: in 1598 with Geertrui Willems, who died in 1609, and in 1613 with Cornelia Brouwers. He died in Amsterdam and was buried on 2 November 1624. In August 1625 his inventory was sold. In 1626 his art business was taken over by Hendrick van Uylenburgh. His widow moved to Leiden.

Work[edit]

Geelvinck as one of the regenten of a hospital, of Joan Huydecoper and his late wife and of Nicolaes Tulp. His work was in great demand and held in high esteem. He had a strong influence on the early portraits of Rembrandt, as well as the work of Nicolaes Eliasz. Pickenoy and Thomas de Keyser.
