Reyer Reyersz van der Burch (1630-1695), Ammunition Officer attached to the Arsenal of the States-General, Delft, with his Wife Geertruid Graswinckel and their Children Frank, Cornelis, Reyer, Maria and Alida 1670 - 1680

This large-scale painting, created by Cornelis de Man between 1670 and 1680, depicts Reyer Reyersz van der Burch, an ammunition officer in Delft, with his wife Geertruid Graswinckel and their five children. The family is portrayed in a formal setting, with the father seated prominently in the foreground, while the mother and children are arranged around him. The composition, with its clear division between the interior and exterior spaces, reflects the importance of family and social status during the Dutch Golden Age. This painting is a testament to the artist's skill in portraying the nuances of human emotion and the grandeur of domestic life. The work is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, one of the most important art museums in the Netherlands.
