Albert Cuyp

Albert Cuyp (1605-1691) was a celebrated Dutch landscape-painter, son of Jacob Cuyp, commonly called Old Cuyp, also a landscapist, born at Dort. He painted scenes from the banks of the Meuse and the Rhine. He, by late 19th and early 20th century, was being reckoned a rival of Claude, though he was not so in his lifetime, and his pictures were selling for a high price. He has been praised for his sunlights, but these, along with Claude's, have been pronounced depreciatively by Ruskin as "colourless".
