Adriaan Verbuch, or Verburgh (worked c.1600, Leiden), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

Biography

According to Houbraken, Adriaan Verburg was one of the teachers of David Bailly.[1] After he first learned engraving from Jacob de Gheyn II for a year, Bailly was sent to Verbuch by his father to learn oil painting.[1]

According to the RKD nothing is more is known of him besides his teaching painting to David Bailly.[2] He is possibly the same person or the father of the actor and playwright Adriaen van den Bergh, who translated plays from English and performed in chambers of rhetoric in Utrecht and Leiden in the first half of the 17th century.[3]

He could also be the same person as the "Jan Verburgh" that Houbraken claims was the teacher of Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst.[4][5]
