Jacques Kuyper

He primarily painted depictions of buildings and landscapes.

Starting in 1776 he studied under Jurriaan Andriessen at the Stadstekenacademie (City Drawing School).

He then used the award money to travel and work around Germany where he visited Düsseldorf, the Rhine, and Mannheim, before ultimately returning to Amsterdam.

Kuyper became a member of the Felix Meritis artist community.

He was also a founding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1808.
