Abraham Furnerius


Abraham Furnerius was a Dutch [Golden Age] draughtsman and painter who was a pupil of Rembrandt.

Biography

He was born and died in Rotterdam. According to the RKD he was a Rembrandt pupil at the same time as Samuel [van Hoogstraten], Philips Koninck and Govert Flinck. Though he died young, he established a workshop and became the teacher of Gerrit Battem. He was the brother-in-law of Philips Koninck, whose works are sometimes confused with his.
No extant paintings are securely ascribed to Furnerius. His surviving body of work consists of a large number of landscape drawings in ink or ink with wash.
