guild cup, tazza, and Wan-li bowl in the collection of the Prince of SalmSalm),

vol. 2, pp. 80-82.

303. Montias 1982, pp. 130 (the quotation), 257. The assumption that only "two

or three" of the attributions to "Van Aelst" referred to pictures by Willem

appears hazardous.

304. Bredius 1888, p. 291, cited in Montias 1982, pp. 176, 195. Montias (1982,

p. 197) records that works by Van Aelst sold for 20 to 35 guilders.

308. Evert van Aelst's Still Life of 1639 was on the art market in 1976: see Plomp in

Delft 1996, pp. 31-33, fig. 23.

309. See Montias 1982, p. 167. In 1638 Van Aelst claimed 72 guilders from the

wealthy brewer Thomas Pick for teaching his son and supplying him with

colors. J. Breunesse, in Delft 1981, p. 182, says that Evert van Aelst was also the

teacher of the Delft still-life painter Isaac Denies, who was ten years old in 1657,

when the master died. Denies was probably a pupil of Willem van Aelst: see

Gemar-Koeltzsch 1995, vol. 2, pp. 284-85. A more likely pupil of Evert is

Abraham Vosmaer (1618-after 1660), who joined the guild in 1639. Sec Delft

1981, p. 182, fig. 2II.

310. What is known of Van Aelst's Italian years is often misstated. See Chiarini
