Cuyp Cows


 The Bloggist and his friend, Alfred Jarry, elicit the interest of a small herd of cows and name them Cuyp Cows in honour of Aelbert Cuyp, Dutch painter of cows. De geschiedenisboeken vertellen ons dat Meneer Cuyp werd geboren in Dordrecht op 20 Oktober 1620 en stierf aldaar op 15 November 1691.  It has been said that Cuyp’s eye “was tuned to the harmony of colour, like the ear of a musician to sound.” However, the Bloggist and his friend, Alfred Jarry, simply like cows.
