About the Item

Cornelis Kuijpers Gorinchem 1864 – 1932 Soest Dutch Painter 'Sunset in a Winter Forest' Signature: signed lower right ‘Cornelis Kuijpers’ Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 135 x 96 cm, frame size 148,5 x 116 cm Provenance: from a private British collection Biography: Biography: Cornelis Kuijpers is considered part of the later period of the Hague School, known for its distinctive depiction of landscapes. His artistic style strongly echoes that of Willem Maris. Encouraged by his instructors at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam, Kuijpers ventured outdoors with his easel, capturing the beauty of nature. From Rijswijk to the wooded area of Renkum (1898-1910), he painted lush meadows, blossoming orchards, and tranquil waterways in a palette of silver-gray and emerald-green hues. Together with artists like Théophile de Bock and Charles Dankmeijer, Kuijpers exhibited his works at shows hosted by the Renkum artists’ association, Pictura Veluvensis. His early years were deeply influenced by his father, Jan, a landscape and genre painter. After completing his education at the Quellinus School, Kuijpers further honed his skills in his father’s studio. Settling in Rijswijk after marriage and the birth of his two sons, Kuijpers continued to find inspiration in the landscapes around The Hague, despite the waning popularity of the Hague School. His forest scenes, painted en plein air, reflected his deep connection to nature. Kuijpers’ late impressionist style, characterized by vibrant greens and grays, set him apart from his contemporaries. He primarily sold his work through the esteemed Amsterdam art dealer Buffa, even garnering recognition and prizes in Spain. After relocating back to The Hague for his sons’ education, Kuijpers often yearned to return to the Veluwezoom, where he felt most at home among the woods. It wasn’t until the family moved to Soest that his paintings began to showcase the influence of the Hague School, with emphasis on large cloud formations and light effects. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence, Kuijpers was a respected figure within the art community, active in the Pictura Veluvensis in Renkum. He passed on his passion for painting to his sons, continuing the family legacy of artistic expression. Kuijpers continued to paint actively until his death in 1932. Notes: Cornelis Kuijpers (1864-1932) was a Dutch painter of the Hague School known for his captivating landscapes. He painted scenes of nature with meticulous detail, often focusing on lush meadows and tranquil waterways. Kuijpers’ work was admired both nationally and internationally, with his paintings prized for their vibrant colors and evocative depictions of Dutch landscapes. He passed on his love for art to his sons and continued to paint until his death in 1932.

Hendrik Barend Koekkoek Amsterdam 1849 – 1909 London Dutch Painter 'Figures Strolling through a Forest in Winter' Signature: signed lower right 'H B Koekkoek', c. 1882-1900 Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 64 cm, frame size 103 x 89,5 cm Biography: Hendrik Barend Koekkoek, often signing as Hendrik Barend (H.B.) Koekkoek, in the realm of 19th-century art, emerges as a captivating painter born in Amsterdam on November 23, 1849. A scion of the esteemed Koekkoek family, he gained renown for his landscapes and woodland scenes, following in the artistic footsteps of his father, marine painter Hermanus Koekkoek. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s life unfolds with a certain mystery, his artistic journey shaped by training from his father and, likely, his uncle Marinus Adrianus. In 1878, he tied the knot with Carolina Allardina Cornelia Pierson and ventured into the artistic scenes of Hilversum and Brussels, simultaneously opening an art dealership in Amsterdam. Around 1882, the call of London beckoned, echoing the path paved by his brother Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger. In England, he painted landscapes near Guildford, akin to his cousin Pieter Hendrik Koekkoek. The latter part of his life remains shrouded in obscurity. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s artistic style, steeped in the romantic tradition of the Koekkoek family, adorned canvases with landscapes, woodlands, and marine scenes. His London sojourn witnessed the creation of winter landscapes with towering trees, showcased in exhibitions across Dutch cities. He breathed his last in London before 1909. His artistic legacy lives on in institutions like the Paul Tétar van...
