As the age changed from the 19th to the 20th century, Europe experienced an era that held many history-making moments politically and socially. Dutch artist Frédéric de Haenen was one of the most prolific illustrators of the period and was privileged to be part of many of these special moments. Frédéric de Haenen was born in Utrecht. Little is known about the time of his education. De Haenen first appeared as an artist in 1886, when the Dutchman took part in an exhibition of white and black and was awarded the bronze medal for his drawing. Two years later, Frédéric began working for the French magazine L'Illustration. This association will accompany Frédéric for thirty years of his life.
Frédéric de Haenen's life is characterized by an extraordinary amount of travel. At the age of 47, he moves to London and works as an illustrator for various magazines. Frédéric becomes Africa correspondent and travels around Central Africa. As an illustrator, he reports on the times of colonization. He captures snapshots and finishes detailed lithographs that are expressive and convey moods. Frédéric de Haenen does not work with a few strokes, he does not hint. His works are extracts that a photographer could not have captured in any other way. The artist visits Russia and travels the country as far as the distant landscape of Siberia. Again, his meticulousness in depiction is evident.
Contemporaries and colleagues described the artist as a person who liked to withdraw. In his memoirs, his French colleague Ernest Clair-Guyot discusses his collaboration with Frederic de Haenen
