Biography

Jan was born in 1619 in Amsterdam and became a great and famous doctor and professor of medicine at his time in The Netherlands during the Golden Age.

Jan married Maria Bas in 1658 in Amsterdam.^[1] She was the daughter of a wealthy family, that settled in Amsterdam, making big money. This marriage also made Jan was even more welcome in the highest circles of the city, where he probalby already was very welcome, because of his intelligence, his skills and his efforts.

Jan and Maria received four children. Their first son probably named after Jan's father: Wolphert or Wolfert.^[2] Their second son Nicolaas^[3] probably after Dr. Nicolaas Tulp, who was so important in Jan's life. Not sure who Maria was named after, at least after her mother. And did she change her name? To Ameretia (and all other spelling possibilities). Was she the one that married Pieter Six? Immetje was named after the mother of Maria. ^[4]

Jan probably passed away in 1666.^[5]Leaving his wife a fortune.

Here below you see the painting that Rembrandt van Rijn made of Jan. This painting made Jan probalby more famous and known more common.

The anatomy lesson of Dr.Jan Deijman by Rembrandt, 1656[6]

The painting was damaged severely in a fire in 1723, and this is why just a little part of the original painting that was saved is shown.

It was a painting of a group of 8 master surgeons besides Jan - the professor - (the study drawings of Rembrandt for this painting are saved.^[7] ) and it is the second anatomy lesson painting of Rembrandt we know at this minute.

The first anatomy lesson painting, was of an anatomy lesson of Nicolaas Tulp. Jan Deijman replaced/followed up Nicolaas Tulp as Nicolaas became Burgomaster of Amsterdam.

It is said that, in the painting shown above, Jan Deijman is the person that is behind the dead man (who is the condemned to death man; Joris Fonteijn alias "zwarte Jan" (black John)),Dr.Jan Deijman without head in the painting, performing a dissection of the brain. Only his hands and upper body are visible.^[8]

Citing Wikipedia in Dutch:

~~Jan Deyman (Amsterdam, 3 oktober 1619[1] - aldaar, 7 december 1666) was een Nederlandse arts.[2]

Hij werd geboren als zoon van Wolphert Deijman, een kapiteyn te water en Maijken Troncqoij. Deyman vestigde zich in Amsterdam als geneeskundige en verwierf zo'n goede reputatie dat hij in 1653 ter vervanging van Nicolaas Tulp, die toen burgemeester werd, tot inspecteur van het Collegium Medicum werd benoemd.

Hij was belast met de opleiding der chirurgijns en vroedvrouwen en dankt hieraan zijn titel van professor. Jan Deyman is 23-10-1658 ondertrouwd te Amsterdam met Maria Bas uit een zeer gegoede familie, die uit Noord-Holland afkomstig, maar sedert lang te Amsterdam gevestigd was. Het echtpaar had vier kinderen; Wolphert (1660), Nicolaes (1661), Maria (1663) en Immetje (1664).

Na zijn overlijden liet hij zijn vrouw welverzorgd achter. Het grootste deel van het fortuin van Pieter Six is van de zijde van zijn vrouw gekomen.

Amsterdam vernoemde in 1884 een straat naar hem.~~
