Josua de Grave (1643, Amsterdam – 1712, The Hague), was a Dutch Golden Age draughtsman and painter.

Biography

De Grave is best known for his topographical drawings of the Southern Netherlands, including Maastricht and some in France during the years 1663-1668, including drawings of the military camps of Stadholder William III during the campaigns against the French in 1674-1676. He later refocussed on Italianate landscapes.[1] He became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1659.[1] He was possibly related to Timotheus de Graaf (1647-1724), a teacher of Jacob Appel. His topographical work is often confused with that of Valentijn Klotz (and his brother(?) Barnardus Klotz), with hom he made several travels together.
