Marinus Claeszoon van Reymerswaele (Reimerswaal, The Netherlands, c. 1490Goes c. 1546) was a Dutch painter. He worked in Zeeland from 1533-1545. Hence he is also named Marinus de Seeu (from Zeeland). He studied at the University of Leuven (1504) and was trained as a painter in Antwerp (1509).

His name is known from a small number of signed panels. Another number of paintings is attributed to Marinus on stylistic grounds. His oeuvre consists of a relatively small numbers of themes only, mostly adapted from Quentin Massys and Albrecht Dürer:

  • The moneychanger and his wife
  • Two tax collectors
  • The lawyer’s office
  • Saint Jerome in his study
  • The calling of Matthew

A large group of tax collectors are wrongly attributed to Marinus. His themes were popular in the sixteenth century and his paintings copied many times.
