Koekkoek family

First and second generation The progenitor of the artists' family was the marine painter Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek, who was born in Veere in 1778 but mostly lived in Middelburg. In Veere he initially worked as an assistant house painter; in Middelburg, while enrolling at the , he found work at a wallpaper workshop before becoming a fine art painter. He lived, worked, and exhibited in various cities throughout the Netherlands and England; he died in Amsterdam, aged 84, in 1927. He painted in the romanticist style inspired by both his family and Cornelis Springer. His paintings were popular in both the Netherlands and England. As the first of the Koekkoek artists to leave the European continent, he appears to have left England for the Americas in 1908 It was around this time that he started painting professionally, and from 1915 onward, he exhibited his work in several South American countries. Gerardus Johannes Koekkoek, in some records also spelled Gerrardus and sometimes known as Gerard, and later at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, Germany. Based on political criminal investigation records, art historian Maartje Brattinga concluded that this work was done out of "opportunism" rather than political conviction, with historian summarising that it was done "during the war to make money, and not at all out of ideological convictions", adding that "he had two families to support". He married, and divorced, twice. and Barend Issleiber (1943–1987) were also artists, but did not carry the name Koekkoek. == Gallery ==
