Heusch, Willem de
(b Utrecht, 1625; bur Utrecht, 9 March 1692). Dutch painter and etcher. He was probably a pupil of Jan Both; at any rate he painted entirely in Both’s style. In about 1640 he may have gone to Italy, returning by 1649, when his presence is recorded at a lottery of paintings, for which he served as one of the experts. In the same document (Obreen, p. 72) he is referred to as Dean of the Utrecht College of Painters alongside, among others, Jan Both, who at that time was an overman (governor) of the Utrecht guild. In 1655–6, 1660–64 and 1669 de Heusch himself was a governor of the guild.
