Jacques Fouquieres (1590-1659)
Jacques Fouquier (1590-1659) - Flemish School
Flemish painter and draughtsman, active in France. His first surviving painting is the Winter Landscape in the manner of Jan Breughel I, who may have been his master. However, a drawing of a River Scene containing references to such Dutch landscape masters as Willem Buytewech and Esaias van de Velde (i), suggests that he may have trained in Holland. In 1614 he became a master in the artists’ guild in Antwerp and in 1616 in that of Brussels. Soon afterwards he was in Heidelberg, working for Frederick V, the Elector Palatine. A Mountainous Landscape with Huntsmen of the same year 1620 (a sweeping panorama with a bluish horizon) recalls the style of Josse de Momper II.
