Suycker was born as the son of Nicolas Zuyker, a master painter in Haarlem whose workshop he inherited.[1] In 1639 (following his father's death?) he became a master in the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke and in 1643 he was dean of the guild.[1] He was clearly active in Haarlem before that, because Samuel Ampzing mentioned him as a good landscape painter in 1628.[2] His works were misattributed for years to Rafael Camphuysen, who also signed his works "RC". He was rediscovered by Horst Gerson in 1946.[1] He died in Haarlem.
