Born in Leeuwarden, Saskia was the youngest of eight children of Rombertus van Uylenburgh, a top lawyer, a town burgomaster and one of the founders of the University of Franeker. Saskia (in Friesland called Saske) became an orphan at age twelve, following the death of her mother, Sjoukje Ozinga, and her father five years later. Saskia met Rembrandt by way of her cousin, Hendrick van Uylenburgh, a painter and an art dealer, whose parents had emigrated to Kraków in Poland, but in 1625 Hendrick decided to move to Amsterdam. From 1631 Rembrandt produced paintings for Uylenburg's Amsterdam and Mennonite clients.[citation needed]
The couple married on June 22, 1634 in Het Bildt, where Saskia had been raised by her sister Hiskje and the husband Gerard van Loo, a lawyer and local city secretary. For a while Saskia had lived in Franeker when her sister, Antje, died. After the burial Saskia helped out her brother-in-law, the Polish professor, Johannes Maccovius, busy teaching theology. in 1639 he and Saskia moved to a prominent house in the Jodenbreestraat.
