Pierre de Moucheron (1508-67), his Wife Isabeau de Gerbier, their eighteen Children, their Son-in-Law Allard de la Dale and their first Grandchild 1563

This 16th-century portrait, painted by an anonymous artist, depicts Pierre de Moucheron, his wife Isabeau de Gerbier, and their eighteen children, along with their son-in-law Allard de la Dale and their first grandchild. The large-scale composition, typical of family portraits of the period, showcases the family's wealth and status. The formal arrangement of the figures around a richly laden table, with the parents at the center, emphasizes the importance of family and lineage. This painting provides a glimpse into the life and values of a prominent Flemish family during the Renaissance.
