Isaac Fuller (ca. 1620–1672)

• According to Bainbrigg Buckeridge, writing at the beginning of the 18th century, he studied under the French Baroque painter François Perrier in Paris.
• During the earlier part of the 1660s Fuller decorated the chapels of Magdalen and All Souls Colleges at Oxford.

• He also painted an altarpiece for the chapel at Wadham College, using an unusual technique in which the image was drawn on grey cloth in brown and white crayons, and then ironed into the fabric.

• While at Oxford he painted portraits, and also copied William Dobson's Decollation of St. John.
