Johannes Paulus Moreelse, or Johan Pauwelszon Moreelse (c. 1603 – October 1634), was a Dutch baroque painter belonging to the school of Utrecht Caravaggism during the Dutch Golden Age.
His father, Paulus Moreelse, was at that time a famous portrait painter.
Johan Moreelse studied in Utrecht, in the studio of his father, and then in Rome (1627), where he was appointed into a papal knight order.
[1] Moreelse died in his home town during a plague epidemic.
His small number of known works were only assigned to him in the 1970s.
