colony Suriname; Commissioner of the Audit Court of the province of Holland; member of
the board of the Admiralty of Amsterdam; and (through his position in the Amsterdam
vroedschap). Rendorp and his wife were art collectors. He had a large collection of paintings
by his contemporaries and was a devoted patron of arts.
