He became master of the Antwerp guild of St. Luke in 1654 and sold paintings regularly through art dealers. There is debate about his connection to the prominent Dutch family of van de Velde marine artists, but it is believed he was a distant relative. He died in Antwerp around 1714. His works are found in prestigious collections and museums across Europe.
