HOUBRAKEN, JACOBUS (1698178o)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 807 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOUBRAKEN, JACOBUS (1698178o) , Dutch engraver, was born at Dort, on the 25th of December 1698. All that his father,
Arnold
  Houbraken (16601719), bequeathed to him was a fine constitution and a pure love for
work
 . In 1707 he came to reside at
Amsterdam
 , where for years he had to struggle incessantly against difficulties. He commenced the art of engraving by studying the works of Cornelis Cort, Suyderhoef,
Edelinck
  and the Visschers. He devoted himself almost entirely to
portraiture
 . Among his best works are scenes from the comedy of De Ontdekte Schijndeugd, executed in his eightieth year, after Cornelis Troost, who was called by his countrymen
the Dutch Hogarth. He died on the 14th of November 1780. See A. Ver Hull, Jacobus Houbraken et son oeuvre (Arnhem, 1875), where 120 engraved works are fully described.
