Jouderville [Joudreville], Isack [Isaac] (de)
(b Leiden, 1612–13; d Amsterdam, 1645–8). Dutch painter. His father, who came from Metz, kept a popular inn at Leiden. Isack Jouderville was (with Gerrit Dou) among Rembrandt’s earliest pupils and was apprenticed to the artist from late 1629 until the end of 1631. (There are six receipts (Leiden, Gemeentearchf) for the payment of his apprenticeship fees, signed by Rembrandt.) During his last year of apprenticeship, Jouderville went to Amsterdam with Rembrandt. In 1632 he enrolled as a student of philosophy at Leiden University; it may well be, however, that he stayed in Amsterdam to assist Rembrandt in his workshop with his numerous portrait commissions. Jouderville himself painted mainly Rembrandtesque heads or ‘tronies’ and was such a faithful follower of his master’s early work that several of his paintings were at one time attributed to Rembrandt (e.g. Minerva in the Studio; Denver, CO, A. Mus.). (Many of these have since been correctly recognized by the Rembrandt Research Project.) In 1636 Jouderville married Maria Le Fevre and settled in Leiden. Between 1641 and 1643 he lived in Deventer, after which he moved to Amsterdam, where he was last recorded in 1645. In 1659 his daughter Marieke married the painter Frederik de Moucheron.
