Family relationships
this field records any family relationship to one or more other artist(s).
Son of Frans van Dyck, merchant, and his 2nd wife Maria Cuypers; brother of Theodoor van Dijck (aka Waltman) (1605-1668), canon and priest of the Norbertine Abbey at Minderhout: See Bull. Mus.R. de Belgique, 10/1960). His sisters Susanna, Cornelia, Isabella and Anna all became béguines (Lurie 1995). He married in London in 1638 Maria Ruthven. His legitimate daughter Justina was born 1 December 1641 and baptized on 9 December, the day Anthony van Dyck died. His illigitimate daughter with Margaret Lemon, Maria Teresia, was taken in by her aunt Suzanna, béguine in Antwerp. Maria Teresia received from her aunt the bulk of Van Dyck's inheritance to her, being fl. 15090,-; she married Sir (Joncker) Gabriël Essers, drossart of Bouckhoudt: the present day family van Anthony van Dyck comes from this line and took on the name Essers van Dyck.
