    He was born in Antwerp as the son of Erasmus Quellinus I and Elisabeth van Uden.

His brother Artus Quellinus I (Arnoldus) was a prominent sculptor.

    In 1634 he married Catharina de Hemelaer, who was the niece of Jan de Hemelaer, deacon of the Antwerp Cathedral. Their son was Jan-Erasmus Quellinus. He married a second time on 9 November 1663 in Brussels with Françoise de Fren (sister of Isabella de Fren, the wife of David Teniers II)
