MOUCHERO'N (Frederic), called the Old, was a 
landfcape-painter, born at Embden in 1653, and the dif- 
ciple of John Affelyn; but at the age of twenty-two he 
m o v 
went to Paris to praCHfe the leffons he had learnt in his 
profefiion; and was fo fortunate as to obtain confiderable 
applaule, at an early period, by a freedom and boldnefs of 
hand, and a certain air of nature which his works- polfels, 
without, however, being highly meritorious, or ever being 
carried to any great degree of perfection. His choice of 
fubjeefts was generally from the common lcenes of nature": 
thefe he wrought with a full pencil, and a touch light and 
free. His colouring is generally of a negative call, with 
the fore-grounds worked up clear and rich; but his middle 
diltances are often pale and indiftinft, and have a little 
too much the air of the painter’s not being decidedly well- 
informed of his own intentions. From Paris he went to 
lettie at Amfterdam; and, during his continuance in that 
city, the figures in his landfcapcs were frequently painted 
by Adrian Vander Velde, as during his refidencein France 
they were by Theodore Helmbreker. He died in 1706, 
at the age of fifty-three. His fon, 
MOUCHERO'N (Ifaac), was born at Amfterdam in 
1670; and, having had the advantage of his father’s in- 
ftru&ions in the art of painting till he arrived at the 
twenty-fourth year of his age, he then travelled to Rome, 
where he made deiigns of the interefting, and often beauti¬ 
ful, feenery around that city. Of thefe he carried back 
with him to his native place a very confiderable number; 
and vfis there employed in painting pictures from them, 
in halls, faloons, and the apartments of noble edifices; 
being affifted with figures for his feenery, by Verkolie and 
De Wit. He lived till the year 1744, having enjoyed 
great praife and benefit from the exercife of his talents; 
and his works are ftill very much efteemed.

MOUDA'NIA, &c. See Mudania, & c. 
MOUDO'N, a town of the Helvetian republic, which 
gives name to a bailiwick, in the canton of Berne. It is 
a handfome town, and was formerly the capital of all that 
part of the Pays de Vaud which belonged to the duke of 
Savoy. The town is inconveniently fituated on the river 
Broye, part of it being level, and part of it lying on the 
declivity of a hill, from which a rivulet pafles, and rulhes 
through the lower town, and runs with rapidity into the 
Broye. In the upper town was formerly a church dedi¬ 
cated to the Virgin Mary, of which nothing now remains 
but a tower, or kind of fteeple. In the lower part of the 
town is one church. Antonine mentions this place in 
his Itinerary, and it is thought to be one of thole which 
theSwifs burnedin the time of Julius Ctefar. Someancient 
medals and other curiofities have been found in this place. 
The diftriCt or bailliage, in which it lies, is about ten 
miles long, and eight broad, partly mountainous and 
woody, and partly fertile ; including above lixty villages. 
The town, fituated at the entrance of a narrow valley, is 
diftant eleven miles north-eaft from Laufanne. Lat. 46.
