Palamedes Palamedesz. (I)

6 August 1605, Leith[1] – buried 26 March 1638, Delft), was a Dutch painter, and younger brother of Anthonie Palamedesz.

Stevens and Marie Arsene (in Dutch, called Maeijken van Naerssen) and was baptized on 6 August 1605.

His father carved semi-precious stone such as jasper, porphyry, and agate into vases and practised other decorative arts.

[3] After Palamedes was born, the family left Scotland and established themselves in Delft in the Dutch Republic where the boys grew up.

[5] When Palamedes and his brother Anthonie were registered with the Guild, they received the discounted entry fee reserved for residents of the city, which suggests that their father had lived in Delft before leaving for Scotland, possibly as a Protestant fugitive from the Spanish Inquisition in his native Flanders.
