Studied, perhaps G. van koninksloo, D. Vinckboons. He was influenced by V. Batavia. He worked in Haarlem (1610-1618), 1618 — member of the Guild of painters, then in the Hague (1618 — member of the Guild), where he was court painter to the princes Maurice and Frederick Henry of orange. Wrote military battle and genre scenes, but preferred the image of mother nature, winter, river and dune landscapes. From a local variety of color early works (Winter landscape with ice skaters, 1615, Leipzig, Museum of fine arts), his painting evolved to a single key.

The son of the Antwerp artist Hans van de Velde. Studied at Coninxloo and David Vinckboons. In 1612 he became a master of the Guild of St. Luke.
