Andriessen.

Dutch family of painters and draughtsmen. Although they came from a non-artistic background, the brothers (1) Jurriaan Andriessen and (2) Anthonie Andriessen became successful painters, specializing in supplying painted wallpapers, which they made at their factory in Amsterdam. Jurriaan also produced work for the theatre. Both brothers were active in the Amsterdam Tekenacademie; their pupils included some of the best-known 19th-century Dutch artists, such as Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk, Hendrik Voogd and Jean Grandjean, as well as Jurriaan’s son Christiaan Andriessen and granddaughter Cornelia Aletta van Hulst.
