With a mastery of landscape painting that harkens back to 19th century Romanticism, Fredrik Marinus Kruseman (July 12, 1816, Haarlem - May 25, 1882, Saint-Gilles) secured a distinctive place in the history of Dutch art. A renowned artist of his time whose passion and dedication are reflected in every brushstroke, Kruseman is an ideal model for art prints that recreate his unique artwork. Born the fourth son of a hatter in Haarlem, Kruseman's artistic career began with drawing lessons from Jan Reekers and was further schooled at the Haarlem Vocational School. He honed his painting skills under the tutelage of Nicolaas Johannes Roosenboom and furthered his studies under the supervision of Jan van Ravenswaay in Gooi and Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, a renowned landscape painter of his time.
After a brief return to Haarlem, Kruseman moved to Cleves, where he began painting landscapes, a passion he cultivated for the rest of his life. After a return to Haarlem in 1839, he moved to Brussels, where he spent most of his career, except for a brief trip to Paris. After another period in his hometown, he returned to Belgium, where he lived until his death in 1882. Kruseman's extensive oeuvre, comprising between 300 and 350 paintings, is distinguished by only three well-known still lifes, while the rest consist of impressive landscapes inspired by his travels and imagination. In addition, numerous drawings by the artist are also known. In 2000, his talent and contribution to art was recognized at the Valkhof Museum in Nijmegen, where his paintings were included in an exhibition entitled "Magnificent Scenes of Nature: Romantic Landscape Painters in Beek and Ubbergen 1810-1860" was shown. Fredrik Marinus Kruseman's amazing ability to capture the beauty of nature and put it on canvas makes him an ideal artist for high quality art prints. By carefully reproducing his works, we can continue to honor and celebrate the legacy of this extraordinary artist.
