Daniël Tomberg

According to Houbraken he was the son of the Remonstrant minister Hermboldus Tombergen and the father of the glass painter and author Willem Tomberg, who wrote a description of the stained glass windows in the Janskerk of Gouda.

[1] It is unclear if Houbraken was informed first-hand by Willem Tomberg or took his information from Ignatius Walvis's Description of Gouda, but he used him as a source for his biographies of the Gouda glass painters.

[1] Daniel Tomberg had been a pupil of Alexander Westerhout, the glass painter who studied under the father of Anthony van Dijk.

[3] Tomberg was appointed curator in the same year and repaired the window, including a set of heraldic shields at the bottom of the glass indicating the mayors of Gouda in 1655.

[3] After his death, his cartoon of Glass 10 was traded for a grave in the church, and he was succeeded as curator of the windows by his son Willem.
