Artist Biography

Dutch paint, Hermanus Koekkoek Snr was a well-known listed Dutch artist and he of course encouraged his son to follow in his footsteps, which he did and the boy became even more successful than his father, becoming a listed artist. But in order to avoid any confusion, at a very early stage, the younger man decided to paint under a couple of pseudonyms. He painted his pictures, mostly of Dutch seaside or canal side scenes and signed them either as L van Staaten or more prolifically as Jan van Couver. Koekkoek was born on 8th December 1836 in Amsterdam and was largely taught to paint by his father. Having embarked on a successful painting career, between 1859 and 1869 he travelled back and forth between Holland and England, eventually settling in London in 1869. He passed away in 1909 at the age of 73. He was buried in Den Haag, Holland. He painted in both oils and watercolours and many of his works sit in very impressive collections worldwide.
