Biography
| Bruyn was a decorative historical painter who later painted landscape views. He was born Amsterdam 1730 and died London early 1804. He studied at Antwerp under Nicolaes van den Bergh, where he became a master 1759 and remained until 1765 (Rombouts and Van Lerius, ii, 799). He brought to England to do decorative work for the Duke of Norfolk at Worksop in 1768. He entered The Royal Academy Schools in 1773, aged 43. His chief surviving works of this kind are in the chapel at Greenwich, c. 1779, and at Farnley Hall, 1789. He later exhibited landscapes at the Royal Academy from 1773-1803, mainly neat views of specific sites in clear, fresh green tones, and pictures of country houses in their parks. Two sons were entered as painters in school: John 1782, aged 18, and Henry 1792, aged 20. |
