George Geldorp

Their daughter Anne Marie later married Remigius van Leemput, a Flemish portrait painter, copyist, collector and art dealer mainly active in England.

[1] He painted a number of portraits in the Anglo-Netherlandish style, notably of William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Salisbury and his wife Catherine in 1626 (Hatfield House, Hertfordshire) and of Sir Arthur Ingram in late 1638/early 1639.

[3] He was involved in organizing commissions in England for Flemish and Dutch artists including Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Peter Lely.

[1] Upon the Restoration, he assisted with the reconstitution of the art collection and possessions of the English royal family and was rewarded for his services with the position of picture mender and cleaner to the King.

His portraits are regarded as less accomplished and more stiffly articulated than those of contemporary painters active in London such as Daniel Mijtens.

The background of the Portrait of William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Salisbury contains an historically important view of Hatfield House with sportsmen in the foreground.
