Frederick Kerseboom

Frederick Kerseboom (c.1632 – buried 25 July 1690) was a German painter, only one time called Casaubon (mistaking) in England.

Life Born as Friedrich Kirschbaum at Solingen in Germany, he studied painting in Amsterdam, where he changed his name, and in 1650 was at Paris, where he worked under Charles Le Brun. He subsequently went to Rome, and remained there for 14 years, two of which he spent under Nicolas Poussin.

On leaving Rome Kerseboom came to England, where he devoted himself to portrait-painting. He died in London in 1690, and was buried in St Andrew's Church, Holborn.
