Charles Leickert first learned painting in
The Hague under the supervision of landscape painters
Bartholomeus van Hove,
Wijnand Nuijen, and
Andreas Schelfhout, among many others. Leickert specialised in winter scenes, sometimes romanticising the sky in pale blues and bright pinks, but he is equally well known for numerous cityscapes. He painted almost all of his works in the Netherlands, in The Hague from 1841 to 1846 and in
Amsterdam from 1849 to 1883. In 1856, he became a member of the
Royal Academy of Amsterdam. At the age of 71, he moved to Mainz, Germany, where he died in 1907. File:Charles Leickert (1816-1907) - Ice View With Skaters.jpg|
