Jurriaan Cootwijck

Jurriaan Cootwijck was an artist active in 1724, documented primarily through his graphic output. His career centers on the production of prints during the early eighteenth century, covering a diverse range of subjects characteristic of the period.

Fifteen of Cootwijck's prints are represented in museum collections, confirming the existence of a varied body of work held at institutions such as the Rijksmuseum. The subjects range from focused studies of animals, such as Grazende os and Beladen ezel, to detailed landscape views. Topographical representation is evidenced by the print titled Gezicht over de stadsbuitengracht op de stadswal van Utrecht. He also produced religious and genre scenes, including the work Heilige Franciscus and the pastoral subject Fluitspelende herder en spinnende herderin.

The surviving catalog of Jurriaan Cootwijck prints provides a factual record of early 18th-century graphic arts. As these works are preserved in major institutions, their images often enter the public domain. This ensures that high-quality prints derived from the original works are accessible for study and reproduction.
