Cornelis Kick

[3] On 5 May 1661 he married Cornelia Spaeroogh, daughter of an affluent pawnbroker of the Bank van Lening.

It was here that he painted flowers from nature with his student Jacob van Walscapelle, until the expansion of the city in 1657-1663 claimed the land the garden was on.

[4] A daughter from his first marriage, Maria Kick, moved to the Dutch Cape Colony (Now South Africa) where she married Friederich Botha, a German man.

Between 1667 and 1674 he lived in Loenen aan de Vecht, a small town about 100 km from Amsterdam.

After he became a widower, he remarried on 16 December 1674, taking Maghteltje Dirckx of Leiden as his second wife.
