Paulus van Liender

1731 Utrecht – 1797 Haarlem

Paulus van Liender was taught by Jacob and Cornelis Pronk in Amsterdam. From 1774 until his death he was active in Haarlem, where he had set up in business as a wood merchant. In his early years van Liender distinguished himself as a topographical draughtsman in the tradition of Jan de Beijer, but earned greater recognition for his later purely landscape drawings.
