Hermanus Koekkoek the younger was a Dutch painter especially known for his seascapes. He also worked under the pseudonyms Jan van Coever and Louis van Straaten. He came from a family of well-known artists. He was the grandson of Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek, cousin of the famous landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, and son of Hermanus Koekkoek the elder. His son, Stephen Robert Koekkoek (1887–1934), would also become a painter. He was taught the profession by his father in Amsterdam. In the 1860s, he travelled regularly to London, where he moved permanently in 1869. He had a gallery there and sold, alongside his own work, the works of his family members to the British public. He mainly focused on sea, river, and beach scenes. He painted in the romantic-realistic style. He preferred scenes of ships struggling in heavy seas. His later work was influenced by the Hague School. During his time in London, he regularly painted under the names Jan van Couver and Louis van Straaten.
