Louwrens Hanedoes

Louwrens Hanedoes (14 July 1822, Woudrichem - 9 February 1905, Woudrichem) was a Dutch landscape painter; in the Romantic style at first, later turning to Realism.

From the beginning, he preferred landscapes, travelling to mountainous areas such as the Pyrenees, Switzerland and the Eifel.

[2] Shortly after 1850, he became one of the first Dutch painters to visit Barbizon,[3] where he was strongly influenced by the Barbizon school of artists and changed to a more realistic style of painting.

[1] After that point, his productivity declined and he eventually retired to his family estate in Woudrichem, where he died in 1905.
