Frederik de Moucheron

Frederik de Moucheron (1633 – 5 January 1686) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter and draughtsman.

He mainly produced (Italianate) landscapes that were furnished with human and animal figures by various colleagues.

He set off at age 22 for Paris, where he spent three years and made a tour to Lyon, Italy and Greece.

To finish these scenes, contemporaries specialized in painting figures collaborated with him, such as Adriaen van de Velde in Amsterdam, Theodor Helmbreker in Paris,[4] and at times Johannes Lingelbach, and Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem.

De Moucheron's son Isaac, named after his grandfather who was a Rembrandt pupil, became a popular engraver and painter, with many of his landscape wall decorations surviving in Amsterdam.
