Biography

An orphan, de Jouderville became a pupil of Rembrandt in November 1629 and travelled with him to Amsterdam in 1631.[1] Documents concerning his apprenticeship drawn up by his guardians still exist.

He was back in Leiden to marry in 1636, and moved to Deventer in 1641.[1] He lived in Deventer for a few years only; in 1643 he was back in Amsterdam, where he died young in 1645.[1] His daughter married the painter Frederik de Moucheron.[1] He is known for portraits and historical allegories.[1]

His painting Man in Oriental Costume was featured in the fourth episode of the BBC TV programme, Fake or Fortune?.[2] This painting was part of the stock of dealer's Jakob and Rosa Oppenheimer that was seized by the Nazis and sold in 1935.[2] It resurfaced at a Cape Town auction house.[2]

Examples of his work can be found in many galleries, including the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in Helsinki,Finland.
