Life

edit

He was possibly a relation of David Decker, who was registered in the Haarlem guild as a pupil of Gerrit Claesz Bleker in Haarlem in 1640. David Decker's only known artwork was formerly attributed to Cornelis and shows strong similarity with his work.[1]

Cornelis Gerritsz Decker became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1643.[2]
