Jean Bernard Duvivier (1775-1833, Dutch)

Portrait of Jean Bernard, Art Collector and Painter in Amsterdam, Gerrit Jan Michaëlis, 1828

Jean Bernard Duvivier (1775-1833, Dutch) was certainly a cat lover. A deft artist and draftsman he sketched many cats, most probably his own, using charcoal and colored crayons. The cats featured below were captured in natural positions, so we must infer that Jean Bernard was an avid cat lover.

In 1811, Duvivier was commissioned to draw the history of Napoleon, a work that occupied several volumes.

Duvivier was primarily a portraitist and also painted historical and religious scenes. He was a successful artist during his lifetime with many of his works decorating ministries and famous people’s homes.

He died at age 75 in 1833.
