Andriessen, Anthony

Anthony became a successful painter, specializing in painted wallpapers, often with landscape subjects, which he made with his brother Juriaannat their factory in Amsterdam. He became a practicing member of the Amsterdam Tekenacademie in 1767, where he was awarded three prizes. He is known mainly for his drawings and watercolors, particularly landscapes, but he also made a few portraits. Anthony and Juriaan taught some of the most well-known 19th-century Dutch artists, including Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk, Hendrik Voogd and Jean Grandjean, as well as Jurriaan's son Christiaan Andriessen and granddaughter Cornelia Aletta van Hulst.
