Away from the old town, the flashy Dordrechts Museum has works by local artists. Most noteworthy are pieces by Jan van Goyen (1596–1656) and Albert Cuyp (1620–91). Van Goyen was one of the first Dutch painters to capture the interplay of light on landscapes – look for his View of Dordrecht – while Cuyp, who lived in Dordrecht his entire life, is known for his many works painted in and around his hometown.
