In 1625; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Reijnier was; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; involved in; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; a fight with; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; a soldier named; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Willem van ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Bylandt, who died; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; from his wounds five months later. Around the same time Reijnier ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; started to deal in ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; paintings, but in 1631 he leased an inn called "The Flying Fox". In 1641 he bought a larger inn at the market square, named after the Belgian town "Mechelen". The acquisition of the inn constituted a considerable financial burden.[Huerta 1] When Vermeer's father died in 1652, Vermeer replaced him as a merchant of paintings.In 1653 Johannes Reijniersz Vermeer married a Catholic girl named Catharina Bolnes. The blessing took place in a nearby and quiet village Schipluiden. For the groom it was a good match. His mother-in-law, Maria Thins, was significantly wealthier than he, and it was probably she who insisted Vermeer convert to Catholicism before the marriage on 5 April. Some scholars doubt that Vermeer became Catholic, but one of his paintings, The Allegory of Catholic Faith, made between 1670 and 1672, reflects the belief in the Eucharist. Liedtke suggests it was made for a Catholic patron, or for a schuilkerk, a hidden church. At some point the couple ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; moved in with ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Catharina's mother, who lived ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; in a rather ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; spacious ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; house at; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Oude Langendijk,; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; almost; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; next to ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; a hidden; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; Jesuit ; http://www.crimeajewel.com ; church.
