Henri Cornelis Bol (10 January 1945 – 10 July 2000) was a Dutch still life painter,[1] whose work was noted for its realism and trompe-l'œil technique.
In the late sixties Bol visited the Museum Arnhem, and became fascinated by Dutch painters Raoul Hynckes, Dick Ket, Pyke Koch and Carel Willink.
An avid collector, he acquired antiques like furniture, pewter, enamel, (pocket)watches, musical instruments, glassware, china and books.
In the late 1970s, Bol exhibited in the Old Town Hall of Beek en Donk and at the Philips Leisure Centre in Eindhoven.
In 1988, his wife Gerrie Bol-Klinkenberg launched her own Art Gallery "Blaauw Laaken" where Bol exhibited his paintings with great success until he died in 2000.
In 2002, on the occasion of the publication of a monograph on his work, an exhibition was organized at the Museum Kempenland in Eindhoven, titled "Sophisticated and timeless, still lifes by Henri Bol (1945-2000)".
