Hermanus Koekkoek

Hermanus Koekkoek, sometimes referred to as The Elder (13 March 1815, Middelburg – 5 November 1882, Haarlem) was a Dutch painter, etcher, and graphic artist.

He was a member of the famous Koekkoek Painting Family [nl]; the son of Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek, and brother of the landscape painters, Barend Cornelis, Johannes [de] and Marinus Adrianus.

Like his father, he focused on marine art, although he also created numerous landscapes.

Influences from the artists of the Dutch Golden Age are clearly visible, as well.

His memberships included the Royal Academy of Art [nl], and Arti et Amicitiae, an artists' society in Rotterdam.
