_Cuyp_ (Dutch: 1620-1691). _See 53._
An excellent example of the hazy, drowsy effect in which Cuyp excelled.
"A brewer by trade,[190] he feels the quiet of a summer afternoon, and
his work will make you marvellously drowsy. It is good for nothing
else that I know of; strong, but unhelpful and unthoughtful. Nothing
happens in his pictures, except some indifferent persons asking the way
of somebody else, who, by the cast of countenance, seems not likely to
know it. For further entertainment, perhaps, a red cow and a white one;
or puppies at play, not playfully; the man's heart not going even with
the puppies. Essentially he sees nothing but the shine on the flaps of
their ears" (_Modern Painters_, vol. v. pt. ix. chap. vi. § 12).
