Biographical information

Active in

Amsterdam (stad) 1645 - 1677
presumably a pupil of Rembrandt ca. 1645-1650; seems to have spent most of his life in Amsterdam; married 24 October 1670 to Anna Crimpings from Emden. Van Borssom lived with his father at the Rozengracht in Amsterdam, but in his will in 1671 he is mentioned as living at the Prinsengracht (De Vries 1885).
Haarlem (stad)
While many of his drawings depict the environs of Amsterdam, they reveal that he also went to Haarlem and Rotterdam, and that he travelled along the Rhine to Rhenen, Emmerich and Kleve (Cleves), probably in the first half of the 1650s (and perhaps again in 1663).
Rotterdam (stad)
Rhenen (plaats) 1663
According to Royalton-Kisch, similar views of the Rhine of Van Borssom, Esselens and Van den Eeckhout suggest they may travelled together in 1663 (Royalton-Kisch 2010).
