FOUQUIÈRES (Foequier), JACQUES, born in Antwerp about 1600, died in Paris in 1659. Flemish school; landscape painter, pupil of Joost de Momper and of Velvet Brueghel, and perhaps also of Rubens, for whom he painted backgrounds; master of the guild at Antwerp in 1614. Invited by the Elector Palatine Frederick V., he went about 1616 or 1618 to Heidelberg to decorate the castle, and in 1621 to Paris, where his art found much favour in the eyes of Louis XIII., who employed him to paint views of the chief French cities. Jealous of the favour shown to this painter, Poussin left France. Afterwards Fouquières fell into disgrace, and died in great misery. He was the master of Philippe de Champaigne.
