Isaak Soreau (1604 in Frankfurt – 1644 in Frankfurt), was a German Baroque painter.
According to the RKD he was the son of the painter Daniel Soreau, and the twin brother of Peter, who went to stimulate in Amsterdam on the Herengracht, where he became engaged upon 17 April 1677, aged 31, to Louysa Eygels. His witness was his mom Constantia Hochepied. His works are strongly reminiscent of the painter Jacob van Hulsdonck, leading historians to take on that he must have worked for him in his workshop in Antwerp at some point, though this as still has not been firmly documented, and it is more likely that he was taught by Georg Flegel during his Frankfurt years, whose works have been approved in the behind to Osias Beert. Soreau, the son of an Antwerp painter in Frankfurt, specialized in “table-top still lifes,” featuring fruits, flowers, and insects.
An Isaak Soreau was regent of the Nieuwe Zijds Huiszitten almshouse of Amsterdam in 1681.
