(1) Josse [Joos] de Momper II
(b Antwerp, 1564; d Antwerp, 5 Feb 1635). Painter and draughtsman. He received his first training from his father, and as early as 1581 he was registered as a master in the Antwerp Guild of St Luke by his father—who was at the time the dean of the Guild. In Antwerp on 4 September 1590 Josse married Elisabeth Gobyn, by whom he had ten children, including Gaspard and Philips. In 1611 Josse became dean of the Guild, and the following year he evidently went to Brussels with Sebastiaen Vrancx on guild business. It has long been maintained that de Momper had gone to Italy in the 1580s, since Lodewijk Toeput, who was then active in Venice, was mentioned as his teacher in an inventory of 1624. That this hypothetical trip to Italy actually took place was proved in 1985 when the frescoes in the church of S Vitale in Rome, previously attributed to Paul Bril, were given to Josse de Momper the younger (see Gerzsi).
