Paulus van Liender

1731-1797 Dutch

Romantische Landschaften mit Ruinen und Bäumen

Paulus van Liender war ein Landschaftsmaler und Zeichner aus dem nördlichen Niederlande im 18. Jahrhundert. According to the RKD he was a pupil of Cornelis Pronk, and the nephew of Jacob van Liender and the brother of Pieter van Liender. He was a board member of the Haarlem Tekenacademie set up in the home of Pieter Teyler van der Hulst, and in 1774 he became steller van het model, which meant he was allowed to direct the live model to assume various positions during drawing sessions of the academy. He worked with the landscape painter Jan de Beijer. His pupils were Franciscus Andreas Milatz, Hermanus Petrus Schouten, and Jacob Elias van Varelen. Whereas his drawings were initially purely topographical, and easily to be confused with those of his brother, he later developed a more romantic style, focussing on ruins and eventually mainly on large forest trees.
