Claim: Belgian artist Tobias Verhaecht (1561–1631), a son of another artist, painted landscapes and first worked in Italy.
Evidence: Tobias Verhaecht (1561–1631) was a Flemish painter primarily of landscapes. His father must also have been an artist as Verhaecht was admitted to the Antwerp Guild of St Luke as the son of a master. Before 1590 he travelled to Italy and first worked in Florence where Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany was his patron.
