SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture
.
Willem Koekkoek (1839 - 1895) was a Dutch painter born in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, the Koekkoek family, spanning three generations, was highly regarded as an artistic dynasty.
His favoured subject matters were the town scenes of winter in the Netherlands. It was a field of painting that was distinct from those of the remaining members of the extended family. Willem Koekkoek originally worked as an architect and had tremendous success. His handling of colour and depiction of light and shadows was exclusively of his own style.
