Life

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.
