Biography
According to the RKD he was possibly the pupil of Felix van Sambix. He married Mayken van Bracht from Turnhout,[1][2][3] sister-in-law of the publisher Jan van Waesberghe, in 1592 in Rotterdam and opened a French school there.[4] Their son, Jan van de Velde, became a painter.[5][6] He published his calligraphy in the Spieghel der Schrijfkonste in 1605.[4] In 1620 moved to Haarlem, where he was possibly the teacher of the Haarlem calligraphers Jean de la Chambre or Nicolaes Bodding van Laer.[4]
