Nel frattempo, nella vita di Adam Elsheimer
Tutta la vita1604
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.
1606
Marries Carola Antonia Stuarda
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.
1606
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.
1606–1608
Converts from Lutheranism to Catholicism
He converts to Catholicism by 1608, possibly as early as 1606, following the path of his Roman friends Faber and Bril.
1609
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.
