Vincent Jansz van der Vinne

According to the RKD he was a pupil of his father Jan Laurentsz van der Vinne, who made botanical paintings of flowers for bulb growers in Haarlem.

In his Will Pieter Teyler van der Hulst had stipulated that ‘an artistic painter or other lover of the arts and sciences' would live in his house (later called Fundatiehuis).

His task would be to maintain the books in the library and other collections (the medals, prints and drawings); and to catalogue and conserve them.

[2] Vincent van der Vinne was the first 'resident caretaker' of Teylers Museum and set up his studio in the fundatiehuis.

On the Gedempte Oude Gracht, Haarlem, a series of wall decorations symbolizing the four seasons remain as they were installed in 1776 in house number 90-92 (today a furniture store, open to the public).
