Biography

Left: drawing by Wtewael and Right: glass by De Vrije

According to the RKD he was probably related to the glass painter Dirk de Vrije.[1] He was a pupil of Wouter and Dirk Crabeth.[2] In 1595 he took out a loan to buy "glass manufacturing materials" and became the first curator of the stained glass windows of the Janskerk, Gouda.[2] In service of the States of Holland, he made the window "Glass 1" after a design by Joachim Wtewael and the window "Glass 29" after his own design.[2] In Glass 1 he also designed all of the city heraldic shields that border the main subject.
