Barend Cornelis Koekkoek was a pupil of his father J.H. Koekkoek and studied at the academies of art in Middelburg and Amsterdam. He lived and worked in many places of outstanding natural beauty like Het Gooi region, the area around Arnhem and Het Rijk van Nijmegen. In 1843 Koekkoek settled in the German town of Kleef, where he also founded an ‘Academy of Drawing’. From Kleef he made several excursions to the Belgian Ardennes, along the Rhine, to Harz and Saxony. The experiences and impressions gained during these travels were recorded in his book 'Herinneringen en mededeelingen van eenen Land-schapschilder' (Memories and Notes of a Landscape Painter). Barend Cornelis Koekkoek is the Netherlands’ most famous romantic landscape artist.
