Coop Himmelblau

Coopse, Pieter

Pieter Coopse or Pieter Jansz. Coops (c. 1640–1673), was a Dutch Golden Age seascape painter and draughtsman from Hoorn in the Northern Netherlands. According to the RKD (Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, a.k.a. Netherlands Institute for Art History'), he was a pupil of the seascape painter Ludolf Bakhuizen who resided at Hoorn in 1662–1663. He signed his name P.Coopse, sometimes with a second initial J for Jansz, but he seldom added a date. He painted marine subjects and landscapes, in the manner of Bakhuisen and Van de Velde, flourished about the year 1672. His pictures are generally of a small size, well composed, full of subject, and vigorously painted. There is a picture by him in the Gallery at Munich, which is attributed to Bakhuisen in the catalogue, though the name may be discovered on it: in England the dealers are more cautious; they remove it. Ploos van Amstel and others have given facsimiles of some of his drawings; but it is only recently that his own countrymen have discovered his merit as a painter in oil.

Copia, Jacques-Louis

Jacques-Louis Copia, a French engraver, was born at Landau (then part of France) in 1764. He went to Paris, and among other plates executed a charming little portrait of Queen Marie Antoinette, after Piauger, which is very rare. He also engraved a head of Marat, terribly startling in its ghastliness, from a drawing made by David immediately after his assassination. But Copia is chiefly identified with Prud'hon, the voluptuous genius of whose works no one has more fully comprehended. It must, however, be admitted that, apart from the great painter, Copia would have remained hidden in the crowd. His style was neither original nor brilliant, and his rare qualities of modelling and softness of execution required works suitable for their display. He died in Paris in 1799, unfortunately too early to be able to engrave the greatest works of his friend. But among other pupils he left one, Roger, who caught his manner, and is thought by many to have surpassed his master in the interpretation of the spirit of Prud'hon. The following are the works of Prud'hon which have been engraved by Copia: The French Constitution. Equality, and Law; two small bas-reliefs from the preceding composition. Liberty...
