 602 CUYAHOGA centring at Cleveland. The chief productions in 1870 were 78,488 bushels of wheat, 350,702 of Indian corn, 419,176 of oats, 484,724 of potatoes, 44,640 tons of hay, 21,946 gallons of wine, 1,204,111 Ibs. of cheese, 786,430 of but- ter, and 105,175 of wool. There were 6,902 horses, 15,725 milch cows, 4,862 other cattle, and 25,875 sheep. There are numerous manu- factories, mostly in Cleveland, the county seat. CUYAHOGA, a river of Ohio, rising in the N. E. part of the state, and flowing through Port- age, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties to Lake Erie at Cleveland. At a place called Cuya- hoga Falls, in Summit county, it descends 200 ft. in about 2 m. Its course is very circuit- ous, and it affords good water power. CUYP, or Rnyp, Albert, a Dutch painter, born at Dort in 1605, died after 1683. His father, Jacob Gerritse Cuyp, a painter of landscapes and animals, and one of the founders of the academy of St. Luke in Dort, was his first and probably his only master. A strict Calvinist and devoted to his art, he passed the greater part of his time at a small country seat near Dort, where his room, the walls still covered with designs for which he rarely received or- ders, is shown to vis- itors. There is no rec- ord of his death. His pictures were singularly neglected for many years after his death, and it is said that down to 1750 no one of them had sold for more than 30 florins, or about $12. England seems to have been the first to appreciate them, for shortly after this time the demands of English collectors caused a con- siderable rise in their value; and Horace Walpole, in a letter written in 1774, mentions with astonishment that a picture by Cuyp had just been sold for 290. Within the last 50 years they have frequently brought from 1,000 to 1,500 guineas, and are to be found in great numbers in private and public galleries in Eng- land. Cuyp's range of subjects was extensive. He painted scenes on the Maas river, in the neighborhood of Dort. with herds of cattle and horsemen, cavalry skirmishes, horse fairs, sea pieces, moonlights, winter scenes, and in- teriors, all of which show a high degree of ex- cellence. Some of his drawings, heightened by water colors, are gems of art. His best pictures are his landscapes, to attain perfection in which he made studies in the open air at all hours of the day. Dr. Waagen has summed up his artistic qualities as follows : "In lofti- of conception, knowledge of aerial per- CUZCO spective, with the greatest glow and warmth of serene atmosphere, Cuyp stands unrivalled, and may justly be called the Dutch Claude. In the impasto, the breadth and freedom of execution, he greatly resembles Rembrandt." Unlike most Dutch painters, he did not finish his pictures very elaborately, but strove to im- press them with the stamp of intellectual rather than of manual labor. CUZA. See ALEXANDEE JOHN I.
