Louis Fabricius Dubourg (Louis Fabritius du Bourg) was an historical and academic painter of arcadian landscapes, and an engraver.
He was a pupil of Gerard de Lairesse, Gerrit Rademaker (1672-1711) and Jacob van Huysum. In 1718 he became sexton of a small wooden church on Kerkstraat. Around 1726 he was practising foreshortening and may have been a member of an academy; he produced a lot of nude (art) during his life.
