Wilhelmus Beurs

Wilhelmus Beurs (1656–1700) was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

Biography Beurs was born in Dordrecht. According to Houbraken, he was the son of a shoemaker and a quick study who was able to produce a good landscape after only a year's instruction, though he later took up flower painting. Houbraken met him as a fellow pupil of Willem van Drielenburg in 1671. Houbraken praised his book and reprinted one page of it as an example. He dedicated his book to his four pupils Aleida Greve, Anna Cornelia Holt, Sophia Holt, and Cornelia van Marle. He is known for Italianate landscapes; still-life paintings are documented in archives but are no longer known. He died in Zwolle in 1700.
