Barend Cornelis Koekkoek
(1803 - 1862)
 

Barend Cornelis Koekkoek was a Dutch landscape artist and lithographer. He concentrated on extensive wooded landscapes in summer and winter, a theme deducted from the four season series. Like other Romantic painters such as Caspar David Friedrich, Koekkoek painted the motif of tiny figures within imposing, majestic natural environments to contrast humble humanity with the greatness of creation.
