Aelbert Cuyp, October 20, 1620 – November 15, 1691, was a Dutch painter born in Dordrecht. He trained with his father, the portrait painter Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp, and worked chiefly in his native city.
Cuyp painted river landscapes, pastoral scenes, animal subjects, and portraits. His mature landscapes combine Dutch topography with warm light and compositional ideas associated with Italianate landscape painting.
After marrying Cornelia Boschman in 1658, Cuyp painted less frequently and held civic and church offices in Dordrecht. His works are held by the National Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Royal Collection, and other major collections.
