MOREELSE, Paulus
Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1571-1638
Dutch painter, draughtsman, architect and urban planner. He was from a well-to-do family, which settled in Utrecht c. 1568. According to van Mander, Paulus studied with the Delft portrait painter Michiel van Mierevelt and was in Italy before 1596, the year he became an independent master in the saddlemakers' guild, to which Utrecht painters then belonged. On 8 June 1602 he married Antonia Wyntershoven, by whom he had at least ten children. The most famous of his many pupils was Dirck van Baburen, who studied with him in 1611, when the Utrecht artists set up their own Guild of St Luke. Moreelse was instrumental in this and became its first dean. In 1618, after a series of political disagreements, a number of citizens, including Moreelse and the painter Joachim Wtewael, petitioned the town council to resign. When that occurred, Moreelse became a member of the new council and continued to hold various public offices until his death. He was a strong supporter of plans to found a university in Utrecht and was closely involved in the preparations and in its opening in 1636 Related Paintings of MOREELSE, Paulus :. | Young Bull zg | The New Town Hall in Amsterdam sf | View of Amsterdam | painted by the American artist Erastus Salisbury Field | holland-beach chairs. | Related Artists: BOCCATI, GiovanniItalian Painter, ca.1420-1487 Jean-Jacques Bachelier(1724 - 1806) was a French painter and director of the porcelain factory at Sevres.
