"17th Century Dutch Master: Aelbert Cuyp"
2001-10-07 until 2002-01-13
National Gallery of Art
Washington, DC, USA

Overview: Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691) was one of the foremost Dutch painters and draftsmen of the 17th century. His prolific artistic career spanned the years between 1640 and 1665, during the golden age of Dutch painting.

Although renowned for his pastoral views of the Dutch countryside, Cuyp also painted portraits, biblical scenes, and majestic views of Dutch harbors. His unique combination of Italianate atmospheric effects and his native Dutch landscape distinguishes his art from that of his contemporaries. This exhibition brings together 45 paintings and an equal number of drawings to examine the artist's chronological development and range of subject matter.
