Willem Koekkoek (1839-1895) Dutch painter ✽ Scent Of A Lifetime - Ernesto Cortazar
WILLEM KOEKKOEK (1839 - 1895) As the second son of Hermanus Koekkoek (1815-1882) Willem Koekkoek represented the third generation of an extended family of painters that began with his grandfather, Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek at the turn of the nineteenth century. Born on January 3, 1839 in Amsterdam, Willem was raised to continue the family art business. All four of the Koekkoek brothers studied the visual arts primarily with their father, perhaps with occasional guidance from one of their three uncles who were also painters. It was Koekkoek’s father, Hermanus, who was widely recognized, however, and whose reputation as a marine painter would bring international acclaim.
