The seventeenth-century artist Paulus Potter was an influence for many of the artists of this period, including van Leemputten.


James M. Burnet

Impressed by the work of David Wilkie, whose Blind Fiddler his brother was then engraving, and the Dutch paintings he saw in London, especially those of Aelbert Cuyp and Paulus Potter, he was inspired towards a naturalistic approach in his paintings.

He concentrated on landscape and genre painting, in which he was greatly influenced by such 17th century Dutch masters as Aelbert Cuyp, the van Ostade brothers, Paulus Potter, Adriaen van de Velde and Karel Dujardin, all artists enjoying a tremendous vogue and high prices in Paris at that time.
