Isaac Moucheron was a son and scholar of the preceding
artist, and also a close imitator of his works, so much so that
it requires considerable experience to discriminate them. This
painter had not however the advantage of the pencil of Vander
Velde to adorn his landscapes with figures, and these acces-
sories were usually supplied by Lingelbach, and others.
Henry Verschuring was born at Gorcum, in 1637; he
is said to have studied several years in the school of John
Both, but his taste led him subsequently to pursue a different
line of the art, and he painted with considerable success,
battles, march of armies, views of the entrance to towns,
ruins, and interiors, so that there is little of his master’s style
or colouring visible in his pictures.
