=========================================================
Albert Muis (October 22, 1914 – September 24, 1988) was an artist from the Netherlands. Albert Muis was born in Baarn, a town in the central Netherlands. He came from a Protestant family, of which he was the youngest of three children and the only son. Around the age of seven, he began to show an interest in painting and music. Encouraged by his father, the chief bookkeeper of a gas factory, he took drawing and music lessons. As a teenager, he played in various chamber music ensembles and became first violinist in a regional orchestra. However, after leaving secondary school in Hilversum, Muis felt an irresistible attraction to painting and abandoned music. In 1931, he went to a drawing school in Amsterdam. He was admitted to the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam in July 1934. He took drawing and painting lessons there until 1935. 1935 was also the year of his first trip to France. He returned, stunned by the ruggedness of the Breton landscape. In late 1935, he settled in Amsterdam, took courses in Monumental Art under Professor Heinrich Campendonck, and specialized in mural painting techniques (1935–1938). In 1937, he undertook a rather long journey to Italy. He visited Florence, Venice, and Pompeii and became fascinated by the work of Giotto. After his return to the Netherlands, he completed his first fresco, commissioned by the state, for the Dutch pavilion at the International Exhibition in Paris. He also devoted himself intensively to painting in his studio at Amstel 17 in Amsterdam. He held his first exhibition in Amsterdam (gouaches, oil on wood) at the Robert Gallery. In 1967, he went to the Netherlands for an exhibition of his works in Laren (Hmdorff Hall). Due to the success of the exhibition, he returned to Laren in 1970, to the Singer Museum. In 1970, his works were also exhibited in Florence, Italy, at the Paolo Vaccarino Gallery, as well as the following year. The Bellefontaine Cultural Center in Mirail, Toulouse, presented his works in 1972. Albert Muis exhibited several paintings twice at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris. In September 1982, Anne Muis died at the age of 69 after a long illness. The painter subsequently exhibited only in his studio. Deeply affected by Anne's death, his own health became precarious. Albert Muis died on September 24, 1988, at the age of seventy-four.
