• Sobre la obra de arte
  J.C.K. Klinkenberg was a nineteenth century painter who started his painting career as a student at the Academy of Fine Art in The Hague. Later he became a student of Louis Meijer (1809-1866), renowned for his seascapes. Finally, Klinkenberg studied under the tutelage of Christoffel Bisschop (1828-1904) where he developed his extraordinary talent for rendering light in paintings. Bisschop was a painter of genre pieces and interiors, but Klinkenberg chose a different route: the one of cityscapes. Klinkenberg was mainly active in The Hague and Amsterdam, but visited other cities as well. Countless Dutch cities were immortalized by him. The cityscapes of Klinkenberg are well known, mainly because of his use of colors and dazzling light. Klinkenberg’s works are bright and atmospherically pleasing.
• Sobre el artista

  J.C.K. Klinkenberg, alumno de J.H.L. Meijer y C. Bisschop, especializados en pintar vistas históricas de la ciudad, a menudo bañadas por el sol y reflejadas en el agua de un canal o puerto interior. Sus contemporáneos admiraban el efecto de la luz del sol en sus pinturas: una luz fuerte y deslumbrante que iluminaba poderosamente los ladrillos rojos y la piedra arenisca blanca de los antiguos frontones holandeses. Innumerables ciudades holandesas fueron inmortalizadas por él. La representación topográfica y la manera impresionista con la que Klinkenberg registró paisajes urbanos le otorgan un lugar digno en la rica tradición de la pintura arquitectónica holandesa.
