Biographies
John Dilworth
CUYPERS, Johannes Franciscus Born 1766, died 1828 The Hague Netherlands. Baptised as Jean-François. Worked for his father until his death in 1808, including a period from 1783-1823 spent in Liedestraat, Amsterdam. Although immediately recognisable as ‘Cuypers’ work, with the distinctive scroll and Stainer-like soundholes, Johannes Franciscus was the most refined maker of the family and produced more Stradivarian flat arches and a more refined finish even to the extent of sometimes imitating the blackened chamfers of a Stradivarius head. The varnish is improved from his father’s recipe. Richer, more transparent, and warmer in tone. Labels generally handwritten: Joannes Franciscus Cuijpers / fecit ‘s Hage 1783 Johannes Franciscus Cuypers / fecit Amsterdam. 1811
