Hele livet1604
Van Mander praises him in the Schilder-Boeck
The Dutchman Karel van Mander, recently returned from Rome, publishes his Schilder-Boeck, which praises Elsheimer’s work and describes him as slow-working and making few drawings.

His bride, a fellow Frankfurter of Scottish ancestry, was the recent widow of the artist Nicolas de Breul (born in Verdun). Giovanni Faber and Paul Bril were the witnesses at the wedding.

Admitted to the Accademia di San Luca
He is admitted to the Accademia di San Luca, the Roman painters’ guild, and gives it a self-portrait, now in the Uffizi. It is his only portrait and his only painting on canvas.

A son is born
Elsheimer and Carola have a son. He is not mentioned in the census a year later, possibly because he had been put out to a wet-nurse.
