Daniel Vosmaer

1622 – 1669

Dutch painter. He was the son of the goldsmith Arent Woutersz Vosmaer (d. 1654), and had three brothers, one of whom was Nicolaes (d. 1664), a painter of seascapes, and three sisters. The flower painter Jacob Woutersz Vosmaer was his uncle. It is not known with whom Daniel trained to become a painter, but he registered as a master with the Delft Guild of Saint Luke in 1650. In 1661 he married a widow from the town of Den Briel and the couple settled in that town. Daniel had a sizable income and maintained close ties with the regents and elite of Den Briel. The couple had five children, Catherijna, Maria, Arent, Anna, and Daniel.
