Nicolaas Johannes Roosenboom

Nicolaas Johannes Roosenboom (23 August 1805 – 1 March 1880), was a Dutch painter, etcher, lithographer, watercolorist, and illustrator who was specialised in landscape art.

He studied painting with Andreas Schelfhout, a leading Romantic landscape painter.

Their daughter Margaretha Roosenboom was a pupil of her father and grandfather and became an important flower painter.

[5] In 1846 Roosenboom was elected to the board of directors of the Haarlem Drawing College (Teeken-Kollegie), which had as its motto 'Art be our Goal' (Kunst zij ons Doel).

[3][4] In addition to his daughter, his pupils included Fredrik Marinus Kruseman, Cornelis Lieste and Johannes Petrus van Velzen (1816–1853).

One of the key figures of this group was Andreas Schelfhout, whom contemporary art critics dubbed "the Claude Lorrain of the Winter Scene".
