Jacob Cats

Jacob Cats (1741 - 1799) was active/lived in Holland, Germany.  Jacob Cats is known for Landscape painting, drawing, topography, wallpaper design.

Jacob Cats was a Dutch draughtsman and painter.

He was born in Altona, near Hamburg. He was the son of Johannes Cats, a Dutch book dealer who moved back to Amsterdam from Germany following the death of his second wife shortly after Jacob's birth.

Jacob was trained as a bookbinder and as an engraver, first under Abraham Starre and later with Pieter Louw. After further training with the pattern designer Gerard van Rossum (c. 1690-1772), he became a wallpaper painter in the Amsterdam factory of Jan Hendrik Troost van Groenendoelen, for whom he worked for three and a half years.

In May 1762, Cats established his own wallpaper factory, with financial assistance from his relative Willem Writs and from Jan de Bosch and Johann Goll van Franckenstein the elder.
Cats was also a skilled amateur draughtsman, specializing in topographical views and landscapes, such as Two Shepherds Conversing before a Large Tree [Displaying 1000 of 2110 characters.]  Artist bio
