Frederick Hendrik Kaemmerer
Frederick Hendrik Kaemmerer (October 23, 1839, The Hague - April 4, 1902, Paris) is a Dutch artist who worked at first in the style of romantic academicism, and later switched to the impressionist technique. Grew up in The Hague. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and was a student of Solomon Leonard Verveer, who raised him in the tradition of romanticism. Kemmerer's early works mainly consist of landscapes in the style of the early Hague School. In 1861 he held his first exhibition in Rotterdam. In 1865, Kemmerer moved from The Hague to Paris, where he fell under the influence of modern art movements. He specialized for some time in historical subjects, placed in the setting of eighteenth-century France. His success was brought by the images of elegant ladies dressed in rich dresses with bows and ribbons, surrounded by gallant men.
