A student of Jan Asselin (1610-52), who then studied in France and then worked in his homeland, in Amsterdam.
The father of landscape painters Isac de Musheron and Frederic de Musheron the Younger, whom the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary calls "insignificant" compared to his father and brother.
Creativity
His paintings depicting southern, predominantly mountainous terrain and characterized by a wide decorative design, brownish in general tone, in which he with particular love reproduced the effects of sunsets and gray clouds, sometimes resemble landscapes of J. Both (1618-52), but are inferior to them in mastery of technology and the power of colors.
The works of this artist are presented in many European art galleries, for example, in St. Petersburg (at the beginning of the 19th century there were 6 of his paintings there) and in the Dresden Gallery .
