Willem Koekkoek

Willem Koekkoek (1839 - 1885) was active/lived in Netherlands, Holland.  Willem Koekkoek is known for Landscape with figure and architectural painting.

Willem Koekkoek was born in 1839 in Amsterdam as the second son of the marine artist Hermanus Koekkoek Sen(1815-1882).  Having adopted the family tradition of painting, Willem became best known for his winter street scenes.  His favorite subject was his native Holland and his style remained distinctively Dutch, yet his handling of color became particularly individual as seen in the ominous sky, showing that he was skillful in his manipulation of light and shadow.

Koekkoek held his first exhibition in Leeuwarden in 1859 at the age of twenty.  From that time on he frequently showed his work at various exhibitions in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague.  In the 1880's - at the top of his career - he also submitted his work for numerous international exhibitions.  In 1888 he visited London where his younger brother Hermanus Jun. (1836-1909) had successfully started an Art Gallery in 1880 in which he sold works by members of his family.   ...  [Displaying 981 of 1344 characters.]  Artist bio
