Charles Eyck

Charles Hubert Eyck (24 March 1897 – 2 August 1983) was a Dutch visual artist.

After short stays in Sweden, Curaçao, southern France, Amsterdam, Clamart and Utrecht, he settled in Schimmert.

Partly because of these criticisms and his increasing deafness, he lived more and more in seclusion in the house "Ravensbos" in Schimmert, which he designed himself.

After the unveiling of the Bevrijdingsraam in the Sint Janskerk in Gouda (1947), Eyck was presented with the decoration of a Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau.

He returned the award almost twenty years later, because he could not agree with a marriage between Princess Beatrix and the German Claus.
