Matthias de Visch

Matthias de Visch or Matthijs de Visch (22 March 1701 in Reninge – 23 April 1765 in Bruges) was a Flemish painter of history paintings and portraits.

To continue his artistic training, he travelled to Paris and Italy, returning in 1732.

[2] The Academy played a pioneering role in promoting neoclassicism in the Southern Netherlands.

[1] De Visch painted diverse subjects, but is primarily known for his religious scenes and portraits.

His style has a late-Baroque character, but can be regarded a transitional to the rococo in particular in his use of soft tones.
