Life
Moreelse was born in Utrecht, Holland. His father, Paulus Moreelse, was at that time a famous portrait painter.{{cite journal|last1=Fremantle|first1=Katharine|date=October 1974|title=The Identity of Johan Moreelse, Painter|journal=The Burlington Magazine|volume=116|issue=859|pages=618–620|jstor=877824|author-link1=Katharine Fremantle}}{{cite journal|last1=Nicolson|first1=Benedict|author-link1=Benedict Nicolson|title=Additions to Johan Moreelse|journal=The Burlington Magazine|date=October 1974|volume=116|issue=859|pages=618+620–621+623|jstor=877825}} Little is known about his life. Johan Moreelse studied in Utrecht, in the studio of his father, and then in Rome (1627), where he was appointed into a papal knight order. Moreelse died in his home town during a plague epidemic.
