Biography
Houbraken mentioned him as a "gemeen schilder" who was the first drawing teacher of Jan Baptist Weenix. According to the RKD besides being the first teacher of Jan Baptist Weenix he painted staffage in paintings by Jan Fransz Dammeroen, Hans Jurriaensz van Baden and Joachim Govertsz Camphuysen. In 1653 he lived on the Prinsengracht across from the Noorderkerk in the house called 't Wapen van Amsterdam. When he died he lived on the Lindengracht, and was buried in the Noorderkerk.
Micker was inspired by Cornelis Anthonisz. ' 1544 Map of Amsterdam. This painting thus portrays Amsterdam as it must have been around 1544, and not the enlarged Amsterdam of 1652.
