Family relationships this field records any family relationship to one or more other artist(s).: Married 1) in London in the St. Martin-in the-Fields church on 6 June 1630 to Elisabeth Wilson (died 1637); 2) in The Hague on 27 June 1640 to Maria van Ravesteyn, daughter of painter Jan van Ravesteyn and 3) in The Hague on 10 November 1669 to Alida Besemer. According to Vertue, Adriaen Hanneman and Elisabth Wilson had a son named William who would have been buried in 1641 in the St. Marten-in-the-fields church (Vertue Notebook 1). This was rightly refuted by Toynbee in 1950. In several reference works (Von Wurzback, Thieme/Becker, Ecartico) this Willem/William is even included as an artist. In 1654 a child of Hanneman (probably from his marriage to Maria van Ravesteyn) was buried in the Grote Kerk in the Hague; no baptisms of children by Hanneman are recorded.

See also In this field, you will find references to names of groups or to the artists that made/make up groups. You may also come across references to other artists if there was/is question of collaboration without a joint name. This is the case, for instance, with artists who rendered parts of works by other artists (such as with P.P Rubens and J. Brueghel I).

What is meant by followers are those who continue to work in the spirit of a predecessor. Sometimes this may happen a century later; there is no time limit. What is at issue, however, is that someone’s oeuvre must substantially follow in the manner of the artist emulated.: Granges, David des
