Aelbert Cuyp was born in Dordrecht on October 20, 1620, and also died there on November 15, 1691.

The amount of biographical information regarding Aelbert Cuyp is tremendously limited.

The development of Aelbert Cuyp, who was trained as a landscape painter, may be roughly sketched in three phases based on the painters who most influenced him during that time and the subsequent artistic characteristics that are apparent in his paintings.

While it is assumed that the younger Cuyp did work with his father initially to develop rudimentary talents, Aelbert became more focused on landscape paintings while Jacob was a portrait painter by profession.

In addition to the scarcely documented and confirmed biography of Cuyp ’ s life, and even more so than his amalgamated style from his three main influences, there are yet other factors that have led to the misattribution and confusion over Aelbert Cuyp ’ s works for hundreds of years.

Although Aelbert Cuyp signed many of his paintings with a script “ A.

Common among the mislabeled works are all of the reasons identified for misattributing Cuyp ’ s works: the lack of biography and chronology of his works made it difficult to discern when paintings were created ( making it difficult to pinpoint an artist ); contentious signatures added to historians ’ confusion as to who actually painted the works ; and the collaborations and influences by different painters makes it hard to justify that a painting is genuinely that of Aelbert Cuyp ; and finally, accurate identification is made extremely difficult by the fact that this same style was copied ( rather accurately ) by his predecessor.

Upon close examination of the works attributed to Aelbert Cuyp it is easily understood why his unique style developed the way it did, and how his works have been misinterpreted over the years.

Such a thin chronology and little background knowledge has led to gross misinterpretations of his works, and thus further investigation must always be done to conclude with confidence that Aelbert Cuyp is the genuine source of such great paintings.

It is this reluctance which was felt by the Rijksmuseum to reattribute works to other painters ( Abraham van Calraet does not even appear in a Museum catalogue until 1926, and even then he is not given his own entry ) which shows how important it is to art historians that painters are accurately connected to their works — and this is continuously necessary for those of Aelbert Cuyp, as Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter may not in fact be Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter.

Adding to the confusion that is, Aelbert ’ s stylistic development and the problem of attribution is of course the fact that Jacob ’ s style was not stagnant either.

Their converging styles make it difficult to exactly understand the influences each had on the other, although it is clear enough to say that Aelbert started representing large scale forms ( something he had not done previously ) and placing animals as the focus of his paintings ( something that was specific to him ).

As has been mentioned and as will be explained in depth below, there are pieces where Aelbert provided the landscape background for his father ’ s portraits.

What is meant by stating that Aelbert learned form from his father is that his eventual transition from a specifically landscape painter to the involvement of foreground figures is attributed to his interaction with his Jacob.

The evidence for Aelbert ’ s evolution to foreground figure painter is in the production of some paintings from 1645-50 featuring foreground animals that do not fit with Jacob ’ s style.

The Wallace Collection also displays many other treasures, such as two paintings by Titian, four Rembrandts, three Rubenses, four Van Dycks, twenty-two Canalettos, nineteen Bouchers, masterpieces by de Hooch, nine Teniers, Frans Hals, nine Murillos, two Velázquez and paintings by Domenichino, Cima, Daddi, Reni, Rosa, Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, Antoine Watteau, Nicholas Lancret, Jan Steen, Aelbert Cuyp and nine Guardis.

A very early picture, dated 1628, in the gallery of Gotha, bears the signature of Johannes in full and shows de Heem familiar with the technique of the young Aelbert Cuyp.

Maerten van Heemskerck or Marten Jacobsz Heemskerk van Veen ( 1 June 1498 – 1 October 1574 ) was a Dutch portrait and religious painter, known for his depictions of the Seven Wonders of the World.

In 1620, Thijmen Jacobsz Hinlopen became Cornelis Jacobsen Mey's ( the now washed out Cape Cornelius and the incorrectly spelled Cape May ) business partner in the ships Blijde Boodschap ( en.

The name " Henlopen " probably is derived from that of Thijmen Jacobsz Hinlopen ( 1572 – 1637 ), a merchant in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Lucas van Leyden ( Leiden, 1494 – 8 August 1533 in Leiden ), also named either Lucas Hugensz or Lucas Jacobsz, was a Dutch engraver and painter, born and mainly active in Leiden.

Captain Outger Jacobsz of Grootebroek was asked to stay the next winter ( 1633 / 34 ) on Jan Mayen with six shipmates to defend the island.

Blommaert was involved in a company which traded on Angola, together with Frans Jacobsz.

Originally spelled Cape Hinlopen, Cape Henlopen is named after Thijmen Jacobsz Hinlopen who was a prominent Dutch trader.

Cornelis Jacobsz May was also unable to trade in the South River ( Delaware River ) at the exclusion of competing Dutch companies.

Three of the finest and heaviest vessels in the navy, already sunk to prevent capture, now perished by fire: first the Loyal London, set alight by the Rotterdam under commander Cornelis Jacobsz van der Hoeven ; then the Royal James and finally the Royal Oak, that withstood attempts by two fireships but was burnt by a third.

Cornelius Jacobsz Mey sailed first in the Mauritius River or " Hudson's river " ( so referred to first by Adriaen Block in 1613 ) in 1614 where an agreement was made among various competing traders whereunder the explorer Adriaen Block.

More than 200 survivors made their way ashore, and when Pelsaert and Jacobsz set off for help in the only boat, Cornelisz was left in command on the islands.

Their relationship also had a racial component, as Jacobsz was a white Dutchman, while Blank was a black Khoi.
