Albertus Nicolaas Johannes Bakker (3 January 1936 – 21 November 1969) was a Dutch painter. Bakker was born in Amsterdam and studied there at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. He was a pupil of Otto B. de Kat and Gé Röling. He became a teacher at the same institution in 1967 and taught Joost Barbiers.[1][2]

Bakker worked in Amsterdam and Nieuwkoop. In 1961, he won the Prix de Rome.[1][3] He worked in Switzerland for a year where he met Walter Clénin and made gouaches. He also made gouache paintings of IJmuiden, Amsterdam and later Nieuwkoop. He made a series of gouaches for a topographical atlas of Amsterdam and of the Delta Works for the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management.[3]

Bakker died in 1969 in the hospital of Meppel,[3] as a result of a car crash. He had a wife and four children.[2]
