willem de heusch (1625 - 1692)
Willem de Heusch is a Dutch landscape painter and printmaker.
Willem de Heusch probably studied under Jan Both, as he later painted and etched entirely in his style. De Heusch signed his paintings with his full name beginning with a monogram.
Willem de Heusch was known for his realistic depictions of Dutch landscapes. He used a naturalistic style in his works that was characterized by his attention to detail and skilful use of light and shade.
Although Heusch's style is identical to Botha's, both masters may have been influenced by Claude Lorrain, whose Arcadian art they imitated, during their travels in Italy. Heusch sometimes sketched landscapes for the battle paintings of Jan Molenard.
