Emanuel de Witte (1617–1692)

• Was a Dutch perspective painter.
• Witte was born in Alkmaar.
• He joined the local Guild of St Luke in 1636.
• After a stay in Rotterdam, he moved to Delft and studied with Evert van Aelst.
• In 1651 de Witte settled in Amsterdam where his first wife, Geerje Arents, died in 1655.
• He then married a 23-year-old orphan, Lysbeth van der Plas, who exercised a bad influence on de Witte's adolescent daughter.
• In December 1659 both were arrested for theft from a neighbour.
• Lysbeth, pregnant, had to leave the city for a period of six years; he lived outside the city walls and died in 1663.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Emanuel de Witte, Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft with the Tomb of William the Silent, 1653.
