Adam Willaerts was born in London to Flemish parents who had fled from Antwerp for religious reasons. By 1585 the family lived in Leiden. From 1577 until his death, Adam lived and worked in Utrecht. He became a member of the Utrecht Guild of Saint in 1611, and subsequently became its dean in 1620. He taught his sons Cornelis, Abraham and Isaac and they followed in his footsteps. Adams ‘Allegory of the victory of the Dutch on the Spanish fleet in Gibraltar’, is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
