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
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Der zweite Neffe von Jan C. dem Alten. Von ihm gilt im Allgemeinen dasselbe, was von dem jüngeren Jan gesagt wurde. In der Sammlung Scheurleer ist eine Taschengeige von ihm, bei der Boden und Zargen aus einem Stück gestochen sind.
