その頃、Aelbert Cuypの人生では
生涯をすべて見る1658
Marries Cornelia Bosman
Marries Cornelia Bosman, the wealthy widow of the naval man Johan van den Corput, from a family respected in the city; she already has three children. She is very devout, which is later linked to Cuyp's turn away from painting.
c. 1658 – 1660
Painting almost stops
After his marriage the number of his works falls almost to nothing; his period of activity as a painter is traditionally limited to 1639–1660. The reason is thought to be his wife's piety and his growing church affairs, or perhaps simply that he had no financial worries.
1659
Becomes a deacon of the Reformed congregation
A year after his marriage Cuyp, a devout Calvinist, becomes a deacon of the Reformed church; he will later also serve as an elder, holding important municipal and church offices. Houbraken recalled that no paintings by other artists were found in his house after his death.
1659
Birth of a daughter
A year after the wedding Cornelia bears Aelbert a daughter.
