CUYP (Kuyp), AELBEET, born at Dor- drecht in Oct. 1620, died there, buried Nov - 6 > 169L Dutch school ; landscape, ani- mal, and ma- rine painter ; son and pupil of Jacob Ger- ritsz C u y p . Lived many years at Dordwijk, near Dor- drecht, where, as vassal of the countship of Holland, he had the right to sit in the Su- preme Court of Justice. His name was pre- sented to the Stadtholder William IH., in 1672, as a nominee for membership in the regency of Dordrecht. In his early years he painted still life, birds, stables, some- times portraits, signed A. C. ; later, figures, cattle, views of meadows, and winter scenes, signed with his whole name. Out of the 336 pictures by this celebrated painter, at least 200 are in England, where he is deservedly held in very high esteem for his peculiar qualities. In the treatment of atmospheric effects, whether of morning, noontide, or sunset, Cuyp has no rival save Claude, whom he even surpasses in his power of diffusing a glow of light throughout the limits of a canvas. This remark applies only to the landscapes of his later time, for in those of an earlier period a hardness of outline, heavi- ness of tone, and deficiency of aerial perspec- tive are perceptible.
