SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The interior scenes associated with Marinus van Reymerswale show customs officers, tax collectors and money changers: figures connected with the activities of money and administration. The works cited include Saint Jerome in His Study, two small panels depicting the Virgin and The Calling of Saint Matthew.
In 1531, he is documented as a painter and cartographer in Reimerswaal, his birthplace; the same source places his move to Goes around 1540.
In 1604, Karel van Mander reports in his Schilder-boeck that many works by Reymerswale were in Zeeland and mentions A Customs Officer in His Office. The specialist Agri Mackor has attributed 19 versions of Saint Jerome in His Study to the artist. Works considered to be securely attributed to his hand remain rare, according to the sale notice.
