Isaac de Moucheron

He was born in Amsterdam, Dutch Republic. According to the RKD he was one of ten children of the landscape painter Frederik de Moucheron and Maria Magdalena de Jouderville, the daughter of the Rembrandt pupil Isaac de Jouderville, for whom he was named. His father taught him to paint and then he travelled to Italy for two years. When Isaac later declared that it was a copy by his own hand, he claimed the postmaster had never explicitly asked who had painted it, but had wished to see his things that he had brought back with him. Houbraken intended to write a biographical sketch of Isaac in his birth year of 1667, and mentioned this in his biographical sketch of his father Frederik de Moucheron, but was unable to complete it (he died before publication of Volume III, which ended with birth year 1659). == Collections ==
