Wilhelmus Beurs

Wilhelmus Beurs (1656–1700) was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

According to Houbraken, he was the son of a shoemaker and a quick study who was able to produce a good landscape after only a year's instruction, though he later took up flower painting.

Houbraken met him as a fellow pupil of Willem van Drielenburg in 1671.

[2] He dedicated his book to his four pupils Aleida Greve, Anna Cornelia Holt, Sophia Holt, and Cornelia van Marle.

[3] He is known for Italianate landscapes; still-life paintings are documented in archives but no longer known.
