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.
J.C.K. Klinkenberg, élève de J.H.L. Meijer et C. Bisschop, spécialisés dans la peinture de vues de villes historiques, souvent ensoleillées et reflétées dans l'eau d'un canal ou d'un port intérieur. Ses contemporains admiraient l'effet de la lumière du soleil dans ses peintures: une lumière forte et éblouissante qui éclairait puissamment les briques rouges et le grès blanc des vieux pignons hollandais. D'innombrables villes hollandaises ont été immortalisées par lui. La représentation topographique et la manière impressionniste avec lesquelles Klinkenberg a enregistré les paysages urbains lui donnent une place digne dans la riche tradition de la peinture architecturale néerlandaise.
