Ludolph Georg Julius Berkemeier (20 August 1864,
Düsseldorfer Malerschule and the Hague School
.
Biography
For two years, he attended the
Barbizon school. Upon graduating, he took a study trip to Wiesbaden
.
He continued his studies at the
Impressionist.[2] But, despite a brief flirtation with that style, when he returned to the Netherlands he found himself more attracted to the Hague school, which was heavily influenced by the Realism of the Barbizons. He eventually settled in Baambrugge
.
In 1896, he suddenly decided to move to Noordwijk, where he established a studio and sold painting supplies. Later, he was able to qualify for a government pension. He continued to develop his style by taking lessons in
plein aire painting from Jan Hillebrand Wijsmuller,[2]
who was an occasional visitor to the area, and collaborated with him on several works.
Many of his landscape paintings incorporate
still-lifes and book illustrations. For many years, he was an active member of Arti et Amicitiae.[2] A small street in Noordwijk has been named after him.[3]
