Biographyedit
Terwesten was born in The Hague. According to Houbraken he was two years younger than his brother Augustinus Terwesten who was his first teacher, along with his brother Mattheus.[1] He travelled to Rome, joined the Bentvueghels, and received the bent "Paradysvogel" (Bird of Paradise).[1]
As well as Paradysvogel, he was also known by the pseudonym "Den Brander", and signed his Christian name Esayas, not Ezaias.[2] He is often confused with a brother of the same name who was born 10 years before Terwesten's birth and who died early.[2] He travelled to Rome in 1694 in the service of Prince-electorFrederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, got married, and remained there for the rest of his life.[2]
