Reference excerpt

Vincent Jansz van der Vinne (1736–1811) was a Dutch 18th century painter and the great-grandson of Vincent van der Vinne.

Biography He was born in Haarlem. According to the RKD he was a pupil of his father Jan Laurentsz van der Vinne, who made botanical paintings of flowers for bulb growers in Haarlem. He became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1754. He is known for Italianate landscapes and flower still lifes, and also created tapestries. He was the first curator of art for the young Teyler's Museum from 1778 to 1785. In his will Pieter Teyler van der Hulst had stipulated that "an artistic painter or other lover of the arts and sciences" would live in his house (later called Fundatiehuis). His task would be to maintain the books in the library and other collections (the medals, prints and drawings); and to catalogue and conserve them. This person would also be the manager or "resident caretaker" of the house, and, later, of the museum. Van der Vinne was the first resident caretaker of Teylers Museum and set up his studio in the fundatiehuis. He left after an argument with Martin van Marum, whereupon his position was filled by Wybrand Hendriks. Van der Vinne died in Haarlem in 1811.

Works He is known for decorations for whole rooms, though little has survived of the work he did for Teylers Stichting. On the Gedempte Oude Gracht, Haarlem, a series of wall decorations symbolizing the four seasons remain as they were installed in 1776 in house number 90-92 (today a furniture store, open to the public).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vincent Jansz van der Vinne

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vincent Jansz van der Vinne claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vincent Jansz van der Vinne before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vincent Jansz van der Vinne ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vincent Jansz van der Vinne

In research: Vincent Jansz van der Vinne appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vincent Jansz van der Vinne in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vincent Jansz van der Vinne is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1736 births, 1811 deaths, 18th-century Dutch male painters, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vincent Jansz van der Vinne outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
