Literature: Joppe Knoester, 'P.C. de Moor 1866-1953', pag. 44.

Pieter Cornelis de Moor is considered part of the small group of Dutch Symbolists, which around 1900 also included J. Thorn Prikker and, for a while, Jan Toorop. The aim was to represent a higher spiritual value through visible reality. De Moor received his training at the Antwerp Académie Royal des Beaux Arts. There he was inspired by the theories of the French Symbolists, which he has incorporated in paintings and drawings in various ways. Also of great influence on his work was his apprenticeship with the French Symbolist P. Puvis de Chavannes in Paris. The painter worked in France, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, the United States, Palestine and of course in the Netherlands. He painted, drew and watercoloured (paradise) landscapes, figures, flowers, Biblical scenes and young women.
