Jacobus Luberti Augustini (30 April, 1748, in Haarlem – 4 August, 1822, in Haarlem), was an 18th-century painter from the Northern Netherlands.

Biography

Augustini was born in Haarlem as the son of the landscape painter Jan Augustini who made large wall decorations and who taught him to paint.[1] He started his career as a painter of allegorical works, and later stopped due to accepting a position as tax collector.[2] When he lost his job due to the circumstances beyond his control, he started a small publishing house in Haarlem.[2] Besides allegorical works, he is also known for portraits.[1]
