Anoniem (1563)



It looks as if the De Moucheron family are having a meal around a table. But that's not the case. The artist has simply used the table as a means of arranging the family scene. At the centre is Pierre de Moucheron (1508-1567), a merchant in Middelburg and Antwerp. He and his equally enterprising sons figured at the dawn of the Dutch Golden Age.  rijksmuseum.nl
