Jacques Kuyper Stadstekenacademie. Kuyper became a member of the Felix Meritis artist community. He was also a founding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1808. Jacques Kuyper Jacques Kuyper (29 June 1761 – 1 June 1808) was a Dutch printmaker, painter, draftsman, watercolourist, etcher, musician, and composer. Kuyper was born in Amsterdam. He primarily painted depictions of buildings and landscapes. Starting in 1776 he studied under Jurriaan Andriessen at the Stadstekenacademie (City Drawing School). In their annual art competitions he won 3rd place in 1781, 2nd in 1782, and 1st place in 1783. He then used the
Jan Bols flag half-staff in the stadium. Bols did (bronze) medal in both the 1972 European and World all-round championships. The next year, he joined most top skaters in a short-lived professional league, finishing third and second in their championships in 1973 and 1974. After retiring from competitions in 1974 he ran a sporting goods shop in his hometown of Hoogeveen. To put these personal records in perspective, the "WR" column lists the official world records on the dates that Bols skated his personal records. † Ard Schenk skated 7:09.8 the same day, so Bols' 7:10.7 did not become a world record.
