{"title":"Couturier, Hendrick","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHendrick Couturier (1620-1684)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Dutch Golden Age painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to The Netherlands Institute for Art History he married in Leiden in 1648 and moved to America. He lived both in New Amsterdam\/New York and New Amstel\/New Castle. He is primarily known today as the (possible) portrait painter of Pieter Stuyvesant, though this attribution is based mainly on a court statement of his wife in 1663 that Stuyvesant had given her and her husband the \"Burgerright\" in exchange for the portrait he had painted of the Director General.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is archival evidence of Couturier's life which indicated guild membership in Leiden before emigrating and producing some works painted in New Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925 an exhibition of portraits of early Americans was held in New York by the Century Association. At this exhibition, an oil portrait was shown of Oloff Stevense Van Cortlandt (father of the 17th century mayor of New York Stephanus Van Cortlandt) that at that time was attributed to Couturier. This prompted the New York art collector Thomas B. Clarke to purchase it, who later showed it in 1928 as part of his collection. According to its current provenance record in the National Gallery of Art, the attribution to Couturier has since been changed to \"Unknown man by unknown 17th-century French painter\".\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"couturier-hendrick-1620-1684-governor-peter-stuyvesant-c-1660-63","title":"Couturier, Hendrick (1620-1684) - Governor Peter Stuyvesant c.1660-63","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Couturier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 4288 pixels wide by 5184 pixels tall.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca title=\"Hendrick Couturier\" href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/couturier-hendrick\"\u003eHendrick Couturier\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53556135657802,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Couturier_Hendrick_1620-1684_-GovernorPeterStuyvesantc1660-63_main.jpg?v=1765333208"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Couturier_Hendrick_1620-1684-9369073.jpg?v=1768959888","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/couturier-hendrick.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
