1620-1691
Aelbert Jacobsz Cuyp was a well-known Dutch Golden Age landscape painter. He became famous for his Dutch landscape river scenes, which he painted during the early morning or late afternoon.
Cuyp was born on October 20, 1620, and died on November 15, 1691, in Dordrecht. He was immensely wealthy and considered the Dutch version of Claude Lorrain. His father, Jacob Gerritsz, came from an artistic family. His first instructor was a portraitist named Cuyp. The majority of Cuyp's family's wealth was inherited.
Aelbert Cuyp's life story is quite incomplete, with only a scant biography provided by Arnold Houbraken, the only authority on Cuyp for a century after his death and an expert on paintings from the Dutch Golden Age.
Cuyp spent around twenty years painting. Given that his marriage to Cornelia Bosman in 1658 coincided with the end of his painting career, it seems that this event played a role in his decision to retire.
