Pieter Adriaensz. Verbeek (1575 – 1637), was a Dutch Golden Age mayor of Haarlem.
The Dutch Golden Age was a period in the history of the Netherlands, roughly spanning the 17th century, in which Dutch trade, science, military, and art were among the most acclaimed in the world. The first section is characterized by the Eighty Years' War, which ended in 1648. The Golden Age continued in peacetime during the Dutch Republic until the end of the century.
He was the son of Adriaen Verbeek, a Haarlem toll collector, and Hendrikje van Teylingen. He married Anna van Duuren in 1599 and became a judge, magistrate, tax receiver and mayor of Haarlem. [1] He became a member of the St. James guild (St. Jacobsgilde) and lieutenant of the St. George militia in Haarlem from 1612-1615, captain from 1618-1621, and provoost from 1621-1637. He was portrayed by Frans Hals in The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1616 .
Frans Hals the Elder was a Dutch Golden Age painter, normally of portraits, who lived and worked in Haarlem. He is notable for his loose painterly brushwork, and he helped introduce this lively style of painting into Dutch art. Hals played an important role in the evolution of 17th-century group portraiture.
The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1616 refers to the first of several large schutterstukken painted by Frans Hals for the St. George civic guard of Haarlem, and today is considered one of the main attractions of the Frans Hals Museum there.
He died in Haarlem. [1]
