Biography

According to the RKD he was trained in The Hague as a pupil of Arnold van Ravesteyn and Pieter Hermansz Verelst (Verelst became his father-in-law).[1] He moved to England after being registered in Amsterdam in 1686.[1] Jacob Campo Weyerman listed him as Otto Hoijink.[2]

gollark: Why would god send humans and not just write "HEY, I AM GOD" in giant letters of fire in the sky?
gollark: Why would god care about humans so much?
gollark: What? That adds more complexity for no gain. It's a worse model.
gollark: It is entirely valid to say "we don't know". It's not valid to say "we don't know, so let's just postulate yet ANOTHER step in this process with no evidence".
gollark: A god of some sort *could* exist, but there isn't good evidence for them.
