Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp

Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp (born December 1612, Dordrecht, Netherlands—died August 28, 1652, Dordrecht) was a Dutch artist who painted landscapes, genre scenes, battle pieces, and religious subjects in a Baroque style that appears to have been influenced by Rembrandt’s dramatic use of chiaroscuro. His nephew Aelbert Cuyp and his uncle Jacob Gerritszoon Cuyp were both noted painters.
