Isaac Colonia
Isaac Colonia (1611 in Rotterdam – 27 March 1663 in Rotterdam), was a Dutch Golden Age painter of portraits, still lifes, and landscapes.
Biography[edit]
According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History he was the son of Adam Louisz Colonia and Baetris Dircksdr. van Beyeren, and the father of Adam Colonia.[1] He lived on the Delfschevaart in Rotterdam, and is known for portraits.[1] Little work survives, as he appears to have run a business as art dealer. In the inventory taken after his death, 80 large and small paintings were recorded. The benefactors of his estate were (besides his widow) mostly painters: Adriaen van de Venne, Jacques Bellevois, Adam Colonia, Cornelis Schaeck, Jacob Verboom, Jacob Peye and Abraham Hondius. Between 1634 and 1655 he and his wife had 9 children. Three were still minors when he died, and they were assigned to the care of his son Adam.
