Marinus van Reymerswaele
Marinus Claeszoon van Reymerswaele (c.1490–c.1546) was a Dutch painter.[1] [2]
Biography
Marinus van Reymerswaele received later the name of the city of Reimerswaal, Netherlands, where he was born and where he worked, at least from 1533-1540. In the latter year he moved to Goes, where he died around 1546. He is also named Marinus de Seeu (from Zeeland, a province of the Netherlands). He studied at the University of Leuven (1504) and was trained as a painter in Antwerp (1509). His name is known from a small number of signed panels. A number of other paintings are attributed to Marinus on stylistic grounds. His oeuvre consists of a relatively small numbers of themes only, mostly adapted from Quentin Massys and Albrecht Dürer:
- The moneychanger and his wife
- Two tax collectors
- The lawyer’s office
- Saint Jerome in his study
- The calling of Matthew
A large group of tax collectors are wrongly attributed to Marinus. His themes were popular in the sixteenth century and his paintings copied many times.
