Moved from Flanders to Delft, in Guild 1613. Gerrit Houckgeest may have been his student. He lived in a house on Kromstraat, which he leased when he moved to The Hague after 1625. He was rather well off.
Moved on to The Hague in 1622.
He got commissions from the Court of the Princes of Orange to whose taste he catered by painting impressive high ceilinged society's rooms. This may have in turn sparked De Hooch series of grand interior rooms of his Amsterdam period.
